Dell PowerProtect Data Manager Appliance 5.12.0.1 Microsoft Exchange Server User Guide

Before you perform the granular-level restore of a Microsoft Exchange Server backup on a proxy server without the Microsoft Exchange Server, you must meet the following prerequisites:

• Ensure that you have the client name, storage unit name, and storage unit user of the protection policy:
  • To obtain the storage unit name login to the Microsoft Exchange Server node, run the following command:

    $servercofig=Import-ExchangeBackupConfigFile -backup

    Select the correct option, and note the details of the Protection Storage, storage unit, and client name from the command output.

  • To obtain the Protection Storage Boost user of the storage unit login to the Protection Storage, run the following command:

    ddboost storage-unit show

    Note the name of the user.

• Ensure that you have the password for the Protection Storage user that originally performed the Microsoft Exchange Server backup.
• Ensure that the lockbox file contains the required Protection Storage parameter settings that were used for the Microsoft Exchange Server backup.

  Sample contents of the lockbox.txt file are as follows:
