Introduction to Exchange Interface

Last updated 1 year ago

DPX provides high-performance interfaces for seamless online backups and restores of supported Microsoft Exchange databases. Perform backups and restores at either the database level or the folder level or both. From an operational standpoint, the procedures for backing up and restoring Exchange databases are similar, but not identical.

Note. Exchange 2010/2013 protection is implemented through DPX Block Data Protection. If you are using Exchange 2010/2013, see in the User's Guide.
