Installation guide

Acronis Backup supports SCC, CCR and DAG cluster configurations. You can choose to back up

database replicas rather than active databases for minimal production impact. If the Mailbox role

is moved to another server due to a switchover or a failover, the software will track all

relocations of the data and safely back it up.

 Continuous Data Protection (p. 13)

By using Continuous Data Protection, you can revert Exchange data to almost any point in time. If

the most recent transaction log file survived, you can revert Exchange data to the point of failure.

 Backup destinations (p. 7)

The backups can be saved to any type of storage supported by Acronis Backup, except for Acronis

Cloud Storage, Acronis Secure Zone, and removable media.

 Enhanced granular recovery (p. 30)

Browse Exchange Server database or mailbox backups and recover single or multiple mailboxes

or just specific e-mails. You can also recover calendar items, notes, tasks and journal entries.

 New recovery destinations

Besides being able to recover data to a live Exchange server, you can recover

 Exchange databases to regular disk folders (p. 35).

 E-mails and mailboxes to .pst files (p. 37).

3 General information

3.1 Agent for Exchange

Backing up Exchange data becomes available by using Acronis Backup Agent for Exchange.

The agent is included in the setup program of Acronis Backup Advanced.

The agent is installed with Agent for Windows or on a machine where Agent for Windows is already

installed.

Agent for Exchange requires one of the following licenses:

 Acronis Backup Advanced for Exchange

 Acronis Backup for Windows Server Essentials

 Acronis Backup Advanced for VMware / Hyper-V / RHEV / Citrix XenServer / Oracle VM

 Acronis Backup Advanced Universal License

Each of these licenses enables you to install Agent for Windows on the same machine. Therefore, you

can back up the entire machine in addition to Exchange databases and mailboxes.

If Agent for Windows is already installed, you can install Agent for Exchange by using the Acronis

Backup Advanced for Exchange Add-On license.

To use the product in the trial mode, you do not need licenses.
