Installation guide

7 Exchange servers on a management server

All administrative operations with Exchange servers in Acronis Backup are performed in the

Microsoft Exchange Servers view of the management server.

Add a machine running Exchange to the management server by using the machine's name or IP

address, or add multiple machines running the Exchange server application. Once an Exchange server

is registered on the management server, it becomes available for monitoring all of the backup and

recovery activities and their results. To back up data of an Exchange cluster, add all of the cluster

nodes to the management server.

To estimate whether the data is successfully protected on the server, check its status. A server's

status is defined as the most severe status of all backup plans (both local and centralized) existing on

the server. It can be "OK", "Warning" or "Error".

To take an action on the selected server (cluster), use the toolbar buttons. See the Actions on

Exchange servers and clusters section (p. 43) for details.

To review detailed information on the selected server (cluster), use the information panel at the

bottom of the window. The content of the panel is also duplicated in the Details (p. 45) window.

3. The actions are performed by clicking the corresponding buttons on the toolbar.

Registering Exchange servers and clusters on the management server

Registering on the management server allows machines running Exchange servers to be available for

monitoring the activities related to the data protection. To safely back up data of an Exchange

cluster, all cluster nodes have to be registered on the management server.

Registration provides a trusted relationship between the agent, residing on the Exchange server (or

on the Exchange cluster node), and the management server.
