Policy recommendations for Exchange Server 2007 backups
Refer to the following recommendations when you create database backup policies for Exchange Server 2007:
Create a policy that backs up the Information Store, a storage group, or an individual database. This policy supports full, incremental, and user-directed backups.
To perform the backup with Granular Recovery Technology (GRT) select the
option. Then you can restore databases and individual mailbox and public folder items. You cannot restore these individual items from any incremental backups that use GRT.The example policies include the basic policy settings for an Exchange backup. For more information on how to create policies, see the following:
See About configuring snapshot backups of Exchange Server.
See Configuring streaming backups of Exchange Server (Exchange 2007).
