Exchange Backup and RecoveryUSING THE AVAMAR EXCHANGE CLIENT• Restoring to a RSG with the Windows Exchange Database Plug-In (page 64)• Restoring to a RSG On an Alternate Server (page 65)• Redirecting a Restore to a Different Server in the Same Administrative Group(page 65)Important Information About Exchange BackupsUnmounted or offline databases will be skipped during backup If adatabase is unmounted or offline when a backup is performed, the backup willskip that database. Generally this is not an issue because databases that are notmounted are not in production.Public Folders Permissions Requirements In order for public folders to bebacked up, the public folders' Exchange Permission Level for the account thatis performing the backup must be set to a minimum of Reviewer (i.e., the Readpermission must be set to Full Details and the Other permissions must be setto Folder Visible). This is done on the Permissions tab of the Mailbox Propertiesdialog box.In order for public folders to be restored, the account that is performing thebackup must have sufficient permissions to write to the folders and theirparent folders (i.e., the Write permission must have Create Items and CreateSubfolders selected, and the Other permissions must be set to Folder Visible).NOTE: NOTE: Permissions to public folders can be set suchthat the public folders are hidden by deselecting the FolderVisible option in the Other permissions on the Permissionstab of the Mailbox Properties dialog box. If a folder is setsuch that it is hidden from the account that is performing thebackup, then the folder will be hidden from the backup process.The hidden folder will not be saved, and no errors orwarnings will be provided.AVAMAR 5.0 • AVAMAR EXCHANGE CLIENT USER GUIDE 43
