Will backing up slow down the services

Thread needs solution

I have a W2008 with Exchange 2010.

If I am to run a full backup, will my email users experience slowdown? note that the tib is being stored in another location within the local network.

Thanks..

Hello Kent Tan,

Thank you for posting this question in our forum. I am happy to assist you. 

The backup creates an snapshot, that needs only a few seconds. The workload of your server depends on the used hardware and size of the Exchange environment. Under normal conditions your email users should not detect any performance issue during backup. For the used snapshot method, you will find in this article of our knowledge base more information.

If there is anything else we can do for you, please let me know.

Thank you.
