SonicWALL CDP 6.0 Agent User’s Guide
Backing Up Exchange 2007/2003 User Mailboxes
You can backup individual user mailboxes by using the Microsoft Exchange User Mailbox
Backup and Restore server application in the SonicWALL CDP Agent User Interface. The user
mailbox is backed up onto your SonicWALL CDP appliance.
For Microsoft Exchange 2010 on Windows Server 2008, SonicWALL CDP supports backup and
restore on a multi-application, single server deployment, in which the same server has several
applications installed, such as Exchange, SQL Server, and Active Directory.
In the Agent User Interface, you can create a Microsoft Exchange - User Mailbox application
object for for one or more user mailboxes, input the login credentials for the Exchange server,
configure a backup schedule, create a backup task, optionally select offsite backup, and restore
individual user mailboxes to the Exchange server. For information about restoring a user
mailbox, see the “Restoring an Exchange 2007/2003 User Mailbox” section on page 107.
The User Mailbox Backup and Restore feature includes the following capabilities:
• Convenient interface for adding user mailboxes to or deleting them from the backup
process
• Ability to set the backup schedule for a group of mailboxes or for individual user mailboxes
• Secure login using credentials to the Microsoft Exchange server
• Optional automatic backup of user mailboxes to an offsite location
• Retention of multiple backups for each user mailbox
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.
