Configuring A Microsoft Exchange Server; Force Modes - HP BB118BV - StorageWorks Data Protector Express Package User Manual

Configuring a Microsoft Exchange Server

As with any other objects that are configurable in Data Protector Express, you can configure the
Microsoft Exchange Server for backups if you have the correct permissions.
1. Open the Administration desk bar and select Catalog view.
2. Select Network, then locate and select the Microsoft Exchange Server on your system.
Switch to the Folders view to display a hierarchical tree of the Data Protector Express management
domain.
3. Right-click the server and select the Configuration command.
The Configuration property page appears.
Update the following settings that control how Data Protector Express works with Microsoft Exchange
Server.
As explained in the next section, the Backup mode setting of a backup job affects Microsoft Exchange
Server databases differently than file types. The Force modes settings control how Data Protector
Express backs up the databases.
Note that the settings here are only applicable to Microsoft Exchange Server databases; all other file types
are backed up in the job's default mode. For example, if the Backup mode of a job is set to Incremental
and the Force modes setting for incremental jobs is set to Full, Data Protector Express will back up the
Exchange Server databases in Full mode, but all other file types in Incremental mode.
You can use this feature to ensure that the databases are always backed up in full mode, but that other
objects are only backed up when changed. This guarantees the greatest security for the most crucial files
