How the Agent Backs Up and Restores Exchange Server Data

The Agent for Microsoft Exchange Server integrates with Arcserve Backup to let you back up and restore Exchange Server databases and database components (such as mailboxes). It also integrates with the Exchange Server's backup and restore functions, enabling you to perform online backups.

The agent offers many benefits, such as:

• Manage backups of Exchange Server databases, mailboxes, and public folders from a remote location.
• Perform online database backups and restores using Exchange Server's backup and restore APIs.
• Schedule Exchange Server backups using the Backup Manager.

  Note: For Exchange Server 2003, Exchange Server streaming backup APIs are used. For Exchange Server 2007, Exchange Server 2010, and Exchange Server 2013, Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) APIs are used.

• Schedule Exchange Server backups using the powerful Backup Manager.
• Back up to a wide array of storage devices.
• Push agent technology
• Multi-threading
• Multi-streaming support
• Enhanced cluster support (on Exchange Server versions prior to 2010)

The agent lets you perform the following types of Exchange Server backups and restores:

• Database level
• Document level
