Backing Up a Storage Group
You can backup and restore a Microsoft Exchange Storage Group by using the SonicWALL
CDP Microsoft Exchange InfoStore Backup and Restore server application in the SonicWALL
CDP Agent User Interface. The Storage Group, or InfoStore, is backed up onto your SonicWALL
CDP appliance.
For Microsoft Exchange 2010 on Windows Server 2008, SonicWALL CDP supports backup and
restore on a multi-application, single server deployment, in which the same server has several
applications installed, such as Exchange, SQL, and Active Directory.
In the Agent User Interface, you can create a
Microsoft Exchange - InfoStore
application
object for for one or more storage groups, input the login credentials for the Exchange server,
configure a backup schedule, create a backup task, optionally select offsite backup, and restore
storage groups back to the Exchange server. For information about restoring a Storage Group,
see the
“Recovering an Exchange 2007/2003 Storage Group” section on page 184
.
Note
The SonicWALL CDP appliance must be licensed for server applications. On the
SonicWALL CDP 110 and 210 platforms, this feature requires the purchase of the
SonicWALL CDP 110/210 5 Server Applications License upgrade. This license allows you
to back up five applications that are installed on your server, such as Exchange, SQL, Active
Directory, and others.
The SonicWALL CDP Microsoft Exchange InfoStore Backup and Restore feature includes the
following capabilities:
•
Ability to set and manage the backup schedule
•
Optional automatic backup to an offsite location
•
Retention of multiple backup versions
How Does InfoStore Backup and Restore Work?
The SonicWALL CDP Microsoft Exchange InfoStore Backup and Restore feature is
implemented as a server application that is automatically discovered by the SonicWALL CDP
Agent User Interface. To get started using the feature, select the
Policies
tab and then select
Applications
in the left pane of the Agent User Interface. To backup a storage group, you must
configure an application object, a schedule, and a backup task that includes both the
application object and the schedule.
The InfoStore application allows you to add or remove individual Microsoft Exchange Storage
Groups for backup, set backup schedules, restore specific backups of the Exchange server,
and configure offsite backup. You can view log entries in the SonicWALL CDP Agent User
Interface on the
Status
tab to verify that backups are successful.
