Exchange Server Database Backup

Exchange Server database is a database stored on MS Exchange Server as a database (.edb) file. It is used to manage all messaging and collaboration needs of an MS Exchange-driven organization and contains information about all users, their privileges, security groups, rules of operations, public folders, and personal user messages, contacts, calendars, tasks, etc.

Exchange Server database backup is a procedure of copying internal database data, performed to ensure its integrity and to save different versions of it as time goes by. Database backup can be used for cloning MS Exchange servers, for migrating to a new Exchange Server, or for ingenuous restoration of data if it was accidentally corrupted or lost.

Since a large part of business activities of any company is made via e-mail, regular Exchange mail backups make up one of the most important aspects of data safety schemes.

Exchange Server database backup can be performed with the help of special Exchange backup software only, for instance Handy Backup.
