Configuring Exchange Server Zdb; Creating Zdb Specifications - HP Data Protector A.06.11 Integration Manual

• Schedule a backup using the Data Protector Scheduler.
• Start an interactive backup using the Data Protector GUI or CLI.
Limitations
• Backup preview is not supported.
Considerations
• You can perform transaction logs backups only if circular logging is disabled for
the involved Exchange Server.
Circular logging is a Microsoft Exchange mode, where transaction logs are
automatically overwritten when the data they contain is committed to the database.
If enabled, this option reduces disk storage space requirements, but does not
allow you to perform transaction logs backups.
• Exchange Server on the application system must be running. Otherwise, data
consistency is not guaranteed.
• You cannot start ZDB, restore, or instant recovery using the same source volume
on the application system at the same time. A session must be started only after
the preceding session using the same source volume on the application system
finishes; otherwise, the session fails.
• Transaction logs must be backed up using the common filesystem backup
functionality.
• When backing up log files, select either Log all or Log files logging level in the
Advanced Filesystem Options dialog box. This enables purging backed up log
files from disk. For more information, see the online Help index: "filesystem
options".

Configuring Exchange Server ZDB

To configure a ZDB:
1. Configure devices and media for backup.
2. Create a Data Protector Exchange Server ZDB specification.

Creating ZDB specifications

Create a ZDB specification using the omnicreatedl command. After that, perform
a filesystem ZDB using the Data Protector GUI.
