User Mailbox Backup and Restore backs up and restores messages in the user’s Outlook
Mailbox, including the Inbox, Drafts, Deleted Items, and Sent Items, as well as messages within
all other folders with custom names.
It does not back up the Outlook Calendar, Notes, Contacts, Tasks, Meeting Requests, and
Public Folders. It also does not back up locally archived folders.

How Does User Mailbox Backup and Restore Work?
The SonicWALL CDP Microsoft Exchange User Mailbox 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 user mailboxes, you must
configure an application object, a schedule, and a backup task that includes both the
application object and the schedule.
The User Mailbox application allows you to add or delete individual user mailboxes for backup,
set backup schedules, restore specific backups of individual mailboxes, enter credentials for
accessing 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.
Note The SonicWALL CDP appliance must be licensed for server applications. On models that do
not support server application licenses, such as the generation 3 SonicWALL CDP 110 and
210, you can still use the User Mailbox Backup and Restore feature.
Adding User Mailboxes to an Application Object
To backup user mailboxes, you must configure an application object, a schedule, and a backup
task that includes both the application object and the schedule. This section describes how to
create the application object.
You can test the connection to the Exchange Server by clicking the Authentication button
while adding or editing an application object. It is not necessary to enter any authentication
credentials to test the connection.
To create an application object with individual user mailboxes for backup, perform the following
steps:
Step 1 In the SonicWALL CDP Agent User Interface, click the Policies tab.
Step 2 In the left pane, click Applications.
