Hi,
I have searched the forum and the KB but have not found an answer to my particular problem.

System:
Windows 2003 SBS Server with Service Pack 2.
Acronis Recovery for MS Exchange SBS, build 220.

I have setup 2 tasks for backing up the Information Store of Exchange. The first task is a full backup which is started manually. The 2nd task is a automated task which should do an incremental update every night.

The size of the full backup is about ~10 GB, separated in 6 .TIB files each ~2 GB.
The incremental backup adds about the same size of data (~10 GB) also in 6 .TIB files to the already existing full backup.

What is wrong, that the incremental backup is almost the same (size) as the full backup?

Thanks in advance,

Nils

Hello Nils,

Welcome to Acronis Forum, we're glad to greet you here!

I completely understand your concern and will be glad to assist you.

Unfortunately due to the lack of information it is difficult to say whether there is any glitch with the product or tasks set up, but it is highly possible for incremental backups to be large in case you are backing active database.

Anyway I would like to check it, and would appreciate if you could kindly provide me with Acronis Recovery for Exchange logs.

Should you need anything else or have any further questions - feel free to contact us at your earliest convenience, we will be happy to help you!

Thank you!

Hi,

I have now tried (for the first time) a task for backing up the mailboxes and not the information store. When I now do the incremental backup it really seem to do an incremental backup.

Why is the incremental backup on a information store not incremental is it should be? It seems to backup the whole information store again.

As I do not have an error or an error message, i can only provide you with the 3 lines from the event handler of the server where Acronis is running. But they could be regarding my backup tests. 

Can you describe with a few words the difference of a backup of the information store and the backup of the (all) mailboxes including public folders?

Thank you,

Nils
