Managing Exchange Database Mountability Checks And Log
Truncation
When using AppAssure 5 to back up Microsoft Exchange Servers, mountability checks can be performed on all
Exchange databases after every snapshot. This corruption detection feature alerts administrators of potential failures
and ensures that all data on the Exchange servers is recovered successfully in the event of a failure.
NOTE: The mountability checks and log truncation features only apply to Microsoft Exchange 2007 and 2010.
Additionally, the AppAssure 5 Agent service account must be assigned the Organizational Administrator role in
Exchange.
