2 Overview

Acronis Backup enables you to back up the Mailbox server role of Microsoft Exchange Server.

Mailbox servers host mailboxes and public folders. This data is most critical for any Exchange

organization.

The following is a summary of the product's key features.

 Support for Microsoft Exchange Server 2013 (p. 7)

Acronis Backup can back up and recover Microsoft Exchange Server 2013 databases. The product

also supports recovery of Exchange 2013 mailboxes and their contents from database backups to

.pst files (p. 37).

 Express full backup method (p. 25)

This method is based on monitoring changes of the Exchange database files. Once the initial full

backup is taken, all subsequent backups will only back up changes to this database without

needing to read the entire database file. Combining this method with the data deduplication

functionality makes it possible to back up large databases of 1TB or more during business hours

and even over WANs.

 Exchange clustering support (p. 47)
