Acronis Recovery for MS Exchange guarantees the integrity of the backup
chain only in a separate archive. Thus, creation of a new archive will start a
new chain of backups. Acronis Recovery for MS Exchange behavior does not
depend on what you want to back up (the entire information store or only a
separate storage group). By default, transaction logs are truncated before
creating such a chain to decrease the archive size and duration of the backup
operation. You can change this behavior by specifying additional settings in
backup options.
Please note that unsupported Acronis Backup Server versions will not be
displayed in the Acronis Backup Servers list. To provide compatibility with
Acronis Recovery for MS Exchange, please install most up-to-date version,
available at: http://www.acronis.com/enterprise/download/ATIBS
.
Note, Acronis Recovery for MS Exchange does not display mapped network
drives in the Folders tree.
4.1.5 Using Acronis Recovery for MS Exchange Assistant
Acronis Recovery for MS Exchange Assistant will help you define backup strategy and
creation parameters. You will be prompted to answer a few questions, and Acronis
Recovery for MS Exchange Assistant will choose and schedule the appropriate backup
type for protecting your company’s databases from loss or damage.
Performance
Decide what is most important to your operation – a strategy that requires less storage
space or faster data recovery.
Select an option:
• Quick backup and smaller backup archives - backups are created fast
and occupy less space. However, recovery requires more time and you
cannot restore data to a point-in-time. This option is set by default.
• Quick recovery but backups require more storage space - backups
will take more time to be created and occupy more disk space in
comparison to a quick backup. Recovery is faster and there is an
opportunity to specify a point in time to restore data to.

Acceptable Data Loss
At this step specify a period of time when data changes significantly. This will help
Acronis Recovery for MS Exchange Assistant define the schedule for backup creation –
how often to run the backup operation and which backup type to choose.
Select one of the following options:
• Hour – select this option if you want to back up the selected data hourly
