Microsoft Exchange

3.7 Connecting to a Remote Microsoft Exchange Server
In order to perform any operation on a remote Microsoft Exchange server, you must
first connect to it. Once connected, you can manage tasks: set up backup/restore
options on remote database servers and schedule backup, restore and backup location
clean-up tasks.
To establish a remote connection, select a server in the Computers pane and click
Connect to a Remote Computer in the right pane. If you have connected to this
server previously, Acronis Recovery for MS Exchange will use credentials for accessing
the computer automatically. Otherwise a dialog window will be opened:
• In the Computer field, enter the name or the IP address of the computer
or select a computer from the drop-down list, by clicking the Browse...
button
• To provide credentials for accessing the computer, click the Options>>
button
• Specify the username (as <
domain\user >) and password on the server you
want to connect to, in the corresponding fields
• Select the Save Password check box if you want to save the password.
Note, that username (including the domain name) and password must be defined
explicitly while connecting to a stand-alone Microsoft Exchange Server.
Having provided all the necessary information for connection, click Connect to
establish connection.
If Acronis Recovery for MS Exchange Management Console cannot connect to
the remote computer which was not rebooted after installing Acronis Recovery
for MS Exchange Agent, connection must be established with explicit
credentials.
As soon as you connect to a database server, you can manage tasks as if it is as a local
computer.
