Protecting Exchange

CDP Enterprise and Advanced Editions allow you to protect MS Exchange installed on the Agent machine. This function (new in Version 4.2.0) allows you to take a snapshot of the Microsoft Exchange Storage groups. Since CDP uses the VSS Exchange writer, it ensures data integrity and consistency during the backup operation.

A list of supported editions can be found in System Requirements - CDP for Databases.

To protect MS Exchange, enable the Databases Add-on on the Agent. See Enabling Databases Add-On for Agent.

The following CDP interface elements help you protect your MS Exchange:

The "Exchange" tab in the Policy window
The "Exchange" tab in the "Task History"
The "Exchange" action in the "Recovery Points" list
