Backing Up Exchange 2007/2003 Storage Groups
You can backup and restore a Microsoft Exchange Storage Group by using the SonicWALL
CDP Microsoft Exchange InfoStore Backup and Restore server application in the SonicWALL
CDP Agent User Interface. The Storage Group, or InfoStore, 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 - InfoStore application
object for for one or more storage groups, input the login credentials for the Exchange server,
configure a backup schedule, create a backup task, optionally select offsite backup, and restore
storage groups back to the Exchange server. For information about restoring a Storage Group,
see the “Restoring an Exchange 2007/2003 Storage Group” section on page 110.
Note The SonicWALL CDP appliance must be licensed for server applications. On the
SonicWALL CDP 110 and 210 platforms, this feature requires the purchase of the
SonicWALL CDP 110/210 5 Server Applications License upgrade. This license allows you
to back up five applications that are installed on your server, such as Exchange, SQL Server,
Active Directory, and others.
