Unable to browse mailboxes in backup archive

Thread needs solution

I am backing up an exchange 2010 server (SBS 2011). The exchange backup is running successfully and registering that the database is backed up. But when I open the archive to view the content and change "Backup contents" from "information store" to "mailbox" I don't see any mailboxes. It shows the correct mailbox database and public folder database but not items.

Microsoft Exchange Server MAPI Client and Collaboration Data Objects 1.2.1 is installed on the exchange server. The only acronis piece running on the SBS box is the acronis agent. Everything is configured via the acronis management server, installed on a different box.

I tried installing the mapi client on the AMS but this did nothing to help.

Does the exchange management tool need to be installed on the AMS server also? What am I missing?

Hello Jeff Gillivan,

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

Regarding the issue with browsing the exchange backup, I found following articles in our knowledge base:

To create MS Exchange backups, you need to install on the SBS 2011 machine following:

  • The Messaging API Client and Collaboration Data Objects (version 1.2.1) package must be installed.
  • Acronis Agent for Exchange;
  • Acronis Agent for Windows (if you want to perform partition backups as well);
  • Acronis Agent Core must be installed;
