Acronis Recovery for Microsoft Exchange - User Guide - Manual (Page 19)

Configuring Bare Metal Restore
To restore all necessary information stores on bare metal or to create a bootable
media, you need a previously created archive with required information stores backed
up.
After creating an archive, do the following:
1. Launch a Restore wizard to schedule a restore task and choose a Bare Metal
Restore option in the first step.
2. Specify a task execution account.
3. Choose an archive and point in time (point of failure), select the necessary storage
groups and set additional parameters (such as a password) for each archive.
4. Backup a partition with Acronis Recovery for MS Exchange installed using Acronis
True Image Echo Enterprise Server (see Acronis True Image Echo Enterprise Server
User’s Guide for detailed information).
Restoring a Server from a Bootable Media
After hardware failure it is necessary to restore the whole system, including the
operating system and databases, located on different hard drives. To restore partitions
and storage groups/databases (to the last possible state), do the following:
1. Start the computer from a bootable media, previously created using Acronis True
Image Echo Enterprise Server.
2. Execute an Echo bare metal restore (see Acronis True Image Echo Enterprise Server
User’s Guide for detailed information).
In case a company stores databases on external SAN/NAS, and an administrator only
needs to restore an operating system, the following actions should be performed: start
the computer from a bootable media, previously created using Acronis True Image
Echo Enterprise Server, and then execute an Echo bare metal restore (see Acronis True
Image Echo Enterprise Server User’s Guide for detailed information).
If databases are stored on SAN/NAS, while preparing for restoring, do not configure
bare metal restore tasks, as described in section “Configuring Bare Metal Restore”.
Starting a Bare Metal Restore Task
In case of hardware failure you have to restore the lost partition using the Acronis True
Image Echo Enterprise Server, and then start the Acronis Recovery for MS Exchange
bare metal restore task. To start this task automatically, you need to select the Run
Acronis Recovery for MS Exchange Bare Metal Restore after data recovery
option in the final step of the Acronis True Image Echo Enterprise Server Restore
Data wizard.
2.3.3 Files Exclusion
Integration allows users to exclude Microsoft Exchange Server files while backing up a
partition with Acronis True Image Echo Enterprise Server.
To exclude Microsoft Exchange Server files
(*.edb, * stm, * log *.pat ), in Acronis True
Image Echo Enterprise Server Create Backup wizard at Source Files Exclusion step
select the Exclude all MS Exchange databases files option.
