Acronis Recovery for Microsoft Exchange is a backup and recovery software program designed to provide a fast and flexible option to protect Microsoft Exchange servers.
Designed primarily with speed secure backups in mind, Acronis Recovery for Microsoft Exchange gives IT administrators the ability to keep the important lifeblood of any business – e-mail – in perfect working order. The product also has a version for Microsoft Small Business Server to address the needs of SMBs.
That means that the restoration procedure for a particular problem in an Exchange database will vary depending on what caused the problem. With Acronis Recovery for Microsoft Exchange, IT administrators can:
- recover specific email messages or mailboxes using a granular (brick-level) restore
- restore to the point of failure, which means not having to completely re-install Exchange
- recover to a specific point in time, to a last known working state
Restorations are faster and the backup files are smaller due to Acronis’ ability to back up and restore individual emails, files, folders and mailboxes and not the entire Exchange application.
Features of Acronis Recovery for Microsoft Exchange include:
- Active Restore: Full Microsoft Exchange Server functionality for users in seconds, while the system is still being restored.
- Near continuous data protection: Continuously back up transactions to enable the complete restoration of Microsoft Exchange Server databases with minimum data loss.
- Automatic dial-tone recovery: Restore e-mail service more quickly to users (providing them with a basic “dial tone”) and then restore users’ previous data as it becomes available.
- Hot Backup: Backup while the Microsoft Exchange service is online and serving clients, allowing for 24/7 availability.
- Restore email from database-level backup.
- The Backup Strategy Assistant: Create a disaster recovery plan for any environment, delivering step-by-step instructions for recovery. Following the wizard’s instruction, anyone can schedule backup jobs and restore a system rapidly, be they an experienced database administrator or not.
- Centralised management: Provides a single point for the entire infrastructure, making it easy to manage and track backup and recovery activities.
- Intuitive, wizard-driven GUI and command-line interface: Guides users through the scheduling process and reduces the possibility for errors; also offers full command-line interface for scripting.
- High performance and speeds: Due to the ability to restore data (mailboxes, public folders or individual emails) from a database-level backup, rather than time-consuming brick-level backups.
- Bare-metal restore: Restore a whole production server (operating system and all databases, configuration files, and data) on an unconfigured system from a bootable CD or by PXE.
- Windows Server 2008 support
