Specifying Exchange Protection Options

  • Article

Applies To: Data Protection Manager, System Center Data Protection Manager 2007

If you selected an Exchange Server data source to protect, the Specify Exchange Protection Options page appears. You use this page to specify whether you want to check the integrity of the Exchange Server databases and to select the cluster node that you want to protect.

To specify Exchange protection options

  1. On the Specify Exchange Protection Options page, select the Run Eseutil to check data integrity check box to check the integrity of the Exchange Server databases.

    The Exchange Server Database Utilities (Eseutil.exe) must be installed on the protected server for tape-based protection. For disk-based protection, you must also install Eseutil.exe on the DPM server. For more information about Eseutil.exe, see Eseutil (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=83451).

  2. Select the type of node you want to protect for Cluster Continuous Replication (CCR) Exchange Server:

    • Protect active node. Select this option to select the active node as the node that DPM will protect.

    • Protect passive node. Select this option to select the active node as the node that DPM will protect.

    • Protect only the specified node. Select this option to specify the node that you want DPM to protect, and then select the protection node from the drop-down list.

  3. Click Next.
