Brick-Level backup for Microsoft Exchange Server is not designed to fully protect an Exchange Server, but to facilitate easy backup and fast restore of individual emails, contacts or calendars, etc.
A Brick-Level restore cannot fully recover the Information Store after a disaster.
Important:
If used, a Brick-Level Backup must be utilized in conjunction with full Information Store Backup, in order to fully protect the Exchange Server.
Please ensure that following requirements are met by the MS Exchange server:
The operating system account to be running the Brick-Level backup (e.g. administrator) must have a mailbox and is not hidden from the Global Mailbox List.
Scheduled backup is performed using the operating system account configured in the "User Authentication for Windows" field.
If such setting is not configured, the scheduled backup would precede with the default Local System account (default log on account for CloudBacko Pro scheduler).
In this case, the backup will most likely fail with permission denied error.
Brick-Level backup requires "Full Mailbox Access" permission for the user running CloudBacko™.
