Hi Sove,

It is not forbidden to edit an existing backup task and enable application-aware processing. You are free to do so - there should be no problems. Note that of course application items recovery will be possible only from the recovery points created after the app-aware option enabling.

Thank you.

Therefore, if I enable it for Exchange I have to do a full backup to have the mailbox DB recoverable?

Thank you.

Hi Sove,

No, it's not necessary to perform full backup. The application-aware option will collect application-specific metadata from the machine even during incremental backup (the type of backup doesn't matter here).

Thank you.
