Microsoft Exchange Server provides a reliable and easy-to-use messaging platform that enables organizations to reduce their administrative work. Exchange Server offers large mailboxes where users can securely access their e-mail via the Microsoft Outlook e-mail client.
Exchange Server facilitates productivity by providing users access to their email globally. Organizations can use Microsoft Exchange Server to manage, distribute and store company email in a centralized manner. Exchange Server also includes features for all users to store and share contact details, schedules and tasks. Exchange administrators need to manage databases securely and in a simple way using a backup application. Vembu-BDR backup software allows Exchange administrators to manage and recover Exchange Server databases so that they can rebuild them quickly when they need to.
Log Purging:
Exchange Server functions in a way such that the changes made to the DB will be recorded and saved. These changes generate log files. It is critical that a DB admin safeguards these log files. If you go to the location where Exchange transaction logs are stored you will see a great number of log files there. During the transaction process, log files of 1MB will be purged to a database. The DB, once backed up, will be committed and marked for transaction. Regular Exchange Server database backup will allow for the Exchange administrator to maintain the space in storage and provide better performance of the server.
Backup Insights:
Vembu BDR backs up Exchange Server databases using the VSS API. It creates a snapshot of the particular database and transfers the snapshot data directly to the backup server. Vembu BDR has fantastic features like application aware backups. If you configure the backup of an ESXi server and the virtual machine inside the server has applications installed like Exchange or MSSQL, application aware will come to play a major role in log transaction and consolidation. Today, many companies are moving their IT infrastructure to virtual environments to reduce cost and space for server preparphals. This makes Exchange Server backup and management an integral part of system reliability and productivity.
