Best practices for backing up Exchange 2013
I have been backing my Exchange 2013 server up for some time now without the Agent.
The backup job runs once per night and backs up the C drive (where the operating system is loaded) and the G drive (where Exchange is loaded).
I've loaded the Exchange Recovery Agent but I am not sure what to do next.
The documentation suggests that I create a backup job for the "Microsoft Exchange Information Store". When I look at that I can see my 8 databases and I can select them for backup. This appears to be in addition to my file system backup.
With this option checked should I then exclude the Mailbox folder within my Exchange installation on the file system backup? It seems that if I back up the Exchange Mailbox folders with the file system and the agent I'm backing it up twice.
I'm just not sure what to do.
