5.3.3 Manual start scheme
With the Manual start scheme, the backup will not start automatically. You can run the backup plan
from the Backup plans and tasks view manually at any time afterwards.
For the description of the common settings for this backup scheme, such as setting up backup
replication and validation see the "Backup" section of the product Help or the User Guide for Acronis
Backup Advanced.
The specific setting for this scheme is the Backup type, which is accessible by clicking Show backup
type, validation.
The available backup types depend on the data type (p. 20) selected for backup: Microsoft Exchange
Information Store or Microsoft Exchange Mailboxes.
 Microsoft Exchange Information Store: For this data type choose one of the following backup
types:
 Full. Selected by default. Creates regular full database backups.
Optionally, you can choose how to create full backups by using one of the following
methods:
 Create full backups using the Express full backup method (available if a deduplicating
vault is selected as a backup destination) - creates full backups by backing up only the
changes that have occurred since the last full backup. For more information, see "Express
full backup method" (p. 25).
 Copy-only backup - creates full database backups without truncating the transaction log
files. For more information, see "Copy-only backup" (p. 29).
 Transaction log. Creates transaction log backups. Initially, a regular full database backup is
created.
 Microsoft Exchange Mailboxes: For this data type choose one of the following backup types:
 Full backup. Creates full mailbox backups.
 Incremental backup. Creates incremental mailbox backups. Initially, a full mailbox backup is
created.
5.3.4 Custom scheme
In the Custom backup scheme, you can set up a backup strategy in the way your enterprise needs it
most: specify schedules for backups of each type and set up the retention rules.
The available backup types depend on the data type (p. 20) selected for backup: Microsoft Exchange
Information Store, or Microsoft Exchange Mailboxes.
Microsoft Exchange Information Store
If you have selected Microsoft Exchange Information Store data type, the following backup types are
available:
 Full backup
Specify on what schedule (Add schedule...) to perform a full database backup.
If a deduplicating vault is selected as a backup destination, full backups can be obtained by
backing up only the changes that occurred since the last full backup. To do this, select the Create
full backups using the Express full backup method check box. For more information on express
backups, see "Express full backup method" (p. 25).
