PowerProtect Data Manager 19.13 Microsoft Exchange Server User Guide

Performing granular-level restores without Microsoft Exchange Server

Starting with version 19.8 of PowerProtect Data Manager and Microsoft application agent, you can perform the granular-level restore of a Microsoft Exchange Server data backup on a proxy server where the Microsoft Exchange Server is not installed. After you meet the prerequisites, you must run the required commands and mount the backup using the Mount-ExchangeBackup PowerShell cmdlet. Once the backup is mounted, you can browse and recover the granular items, such as mailboxes or folders, with ItemPoint for Microsoft Exchange Server.

The granular-level Microsoft Exchange Server restore operations on the proxy server provide the following capabilities for a Microsoft Exchange Server administrator:

• You can grant specific user group privileges to the system account and user account that will perform the restore operations.
• You can run the appropriate commands to mount the Microsoft Exchange Server backups and copies on the system where the Microsoft Exchange Server is not installed.
• You can view the Microsoft Exchange Server backups and copies at a granular level in ItemPoint when you perform the restore without the Microsoft Exchange Server.
• You can perform the granular-level Microsoft Exchange Server restores of full and incremental backups that were performed through centralized or self-service protection policies.
