Capabilities and LimitationsCapabilities and LimitationsINTRODUCTIONThis topic discusses current capabilities and limitations of the Avamar ExchangeClient.Message Level Backup on Exchange Server 2007. Starting with ExchangeServer 2007, neither the Messaging API (MAPI) client libraries nor CDO 1.2.1 areprovided as a part of the base Exchange Server 2007 product installation. As aresult, you must manually download and install these components in order to usethe MAPI-based Exchange Message plug-in. These components are available as asingle download from Microsoft.com at the following location:http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=E17E7F31-079A-43A9-BFF2-0A110307611E&displaylang=enConsider Impact of Exchange Server Maintenance Window. By default,Exchange servers typically perform various maintenance activities nightly between1:00 AM and 5:00 AM. Performing Avamar backups during this maintenancewindow can prevent these activities from occurring on the Exchange server.Therefore, it is best to avoid scheduling Exchange server backups during thenightly Exchange server maintenance window.Refer to the following Microsoft Knowledge Base article for additional informationabout nightly Exchange server maintenance windows:Microsoft Knowledge Base Article - KB271222, “XADM: UnderstandingPerformance and Scalability Characteristics of Exchange 2000 MDB OnlineMaintenance”NOTE: This limitation applies to the Exchange Databaseplug-in only.Validation Not Supported.backup validation.The Exchange Database plug-in does not supportNOTE: This capability applies to the Exchange Databaseplug-in only.Unique User Name Required For Each Exchange Server. If you are backingup more than one Exchange server within an Active Directory forest, you must usea different Windows user account for each Exchange server. This is because eachuser defined in Active Directory stores an Exchange mailbox as an attribute. It istherefore not possible for Avamar to use one user account to backup more thanone Exchange server.NOTE: This limitation applies to the Exchange Messageplug-in only.AVAMAR 5.0 • AVAMAR EXCHANGE CLIENT USER GUIDE 13
