Applications
Data Protector Express provides agents for protecting a number of popular third-party applications.
These agents protect the applications using the application specific backup interfaces provided by the
application vendors to ensure complete protection of your data.
Microsoft Exchange Server
In this section
• Configuring a Microsoft Exchange Server
• Backing up Microsoft Exchange Server

Supported Platforms
The Data Protector Express Agent for Microsoft Exchange supports backup and restore operations for
Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server, Microsoft Exchange Server 2003, Microsoft Exchange Server 2007
and restoring from Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5 (if backed up with a previous version of Data Protector
Express)
Some editions of Data Protector Express do not provide a license to backup Exchange data. By default,
an evaluation version of the Data Protector Express agent for Microsoft Exchange is installed automatically
when you install Data Protector Express on a Windows server machine that is running Microsoft
Exchange. You can use this evaluation license for 60 days. To continue using the agent, contact your
sales representative to purchase an edition of Data Protector Expressthat supports Application agents.

Exchange Server for backups if you have the correct permissions.
