Configuring a policy for backups of individual Exchange mailboxes or public folders (Exchange 2007 and earlier)

A MAPI mailbox or public folder policy includes individual mailbox or public folder objects. This type of policy can only be configured for Exchange 2007 and earlier. Before you configure NetBackup for Exchange policy for these objects, review the configuration that is necessary for this type of backup.

See About configuring the NetBackup Client Service for backups and restores that use Granular Restore Technology (GRT) or MAPI.
