Performing Exchange Maintenance Tasks

Most Microsoft Exchange maintenance tasks should have no adverse affect on performance or

data protection. However, special considerations apply when you are performing offline database

defragmentation on Exchange servers that are protected by Data Protection Manager (DPM).

Offline defragmentation involves using the Exchange Server Database Utilities (Eseutil.exe), an

Exchange Server utility that you can use to defragment, repair, and check the integrity of

Exchange server databases.

If you must perform an offline defragmentation, you should perform a synchronization with

consistency check for protected storage groups when defragmentation is complete.
