questions about backup to online store
Hi,
I have the following questions about backing up to online storage:
1. When creating backup for Exchange 2010 server to online, the "exchange aware" option was grey out. Is this a limitation for backup to online? Without the "exchange aware" option, can I still trust the restore from online for the exchange server/database? And, any limitation on restore of a Exchange server from online?
2. When creating backup to online (any type of VM), "single file option" was also grey out. Is this also a limitation?
Thanks,
Aldous

Hi Vasily,
Thanks for the info.
When doing the backup to Online. Is it possible to do incremental only and auto clean up any older than 30 days?

Hi Aldous,
Yes, it is possible - in case of online backup storage the backups to the same archive are performed in incremental mode and clean up rules will be able to remove just the outdated recovery points independently from the links between them(there is no need to schedule full backups). In terms of clean up mechanizm the archive format on online storage is closer to "Always Incremental" one.
Thank you.

Hi Vasily,
Under the "Backup Type" in step 3, I don't see option to disable to full backup. (please see attached file) Would you more detail on how to make the online backup to incremental only and cleanup any older than 30 days, please?
Thanks,
Aldous

Hi Aldous,
The setting for full backup creation shown on your screen shot is in fact ignored while processing, so backing up to online is always performed incrementally, independently from this setting (this setting appearance is a known issue - it should be greyed out). With the settings shown on your screen shot the backups will be done to online incrementally and it will be kept for 30 days (there will be no full backups created except for the 1st one of course).
Thank you.
