Restore Exchange Mailbox

Thread needs solution

Hi,

We have Acronis Backup 12 to backup our Virtual Infrastructure. Exchange 2013 is running on our 2 node vSphere Cluster. The vSphere Cluster is connected to a vCenter Server. 

VMware version is 5.1.

ESXi virtual appliance is installed on each individual vSphere Hosts. Application Aware backup has completed on Exchange Servers. But, when I choose the restore option, I get only two options. 

1. Restore the VM
2. Restore Files

I want to be able to perform a granular recovery of the Exchange objects - Emails, Mailbox, MailboxDatabase etc. Is there some other tool that I need to install? The help document is simply vague and it does not give much options.

Hi,

Please, install Agent for VMware (Windows). Using it it will be possible to recover mails.

After installing the agent go to "Backups" tab. Select machine with that agent in the field "Machine to browse from" and drill down into the necessary archive.

 

Just to confirm, should I install Agent for VMware (Windows) on the Exchange Server? 

Hi Tom,

you can install the Agent for VMware (Windows) on the AB12 Management Server. The Agent will connect to the vCenter Server and do the job.

 

Hi,

Is it now possible to use the Acronis 12 Appliance to backup and restore applications (Exchange, AD, etc.)? In particular Exchange granular mail boxes.

Any changes since 2016?
