Mailbox Backup and Recovery
The Mailbox Agent protects individual Exchange user mailboxes by exporting them as PST files.
The agent supports full, differential, copy and incremental backups of selected mailboxes. The
mailboxes can be recovered by merging them back into original mailboxes or by restoring them
to PST files on disk.
The Exchange Mailbox Agent is intended to protect key mailboxes. The Mailbox Agent can
significantly increase the backup time because of the inherent processing overhead of Exchange.
NOTE:
This method does not replace Exchange Database backups, which are still required for
the recovery of your entire Exchange Database. Mailbox backup supplements Exchange Database
backups to enable the quick recovery of individual mailboxes when needed.
