Exchange Server 2007/2003/2010 backup and disaster recovery solutions: EaseUS Todo Backup.

How to back up and disaster recover Exchange Server?

As Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 is new updated by providing common infrastructure requirements such as e-mail archiving, voice mail, mobile e-mail access and backup, Exchange Server becomes safer and more reliable. But even the most extreme forms of reliability and fault tolerance can't protect you against every possible failure or accident. Making sure there's sufficient protection for the critical data in your Exchange Server and backup recovery Exchange in case of disaster is a necessary task for all administrators. Today I will show you two main Exchange backup and disaster recovery solutions to protect the Exchange Servers.

Solutions for Exchange Server backup and disaster recovery

Method 1: Take advantage of Windows Server built-in backup solution

Exchange Server 2003 and Exchange Server 2007 have two dissimilar options for data backup and disaster recovery: the Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) backup APIs and Extensible Storage Engine (ESE) streaming backup APIs, while Exchange 2010 is new updated and no longer supports the ESE streaming APIs for backup and recovery of program files or data, it supports only VSS-based backups. Exchange Server 2010 includes a plug-in Windows Server Backup feature that lets you free back up Exchange Server 2010 by making VSS-based backups and recovery data by creating a recovery database. You can use Windows Server Backup to back up and recovery your Exchange databases too. You ought to make use of the backup utility of different Exchange server editions to protect them.

Method 2: Take benefits from third-party Exchange Server backup solution
