Getting started with the Exchange plug-in

Getting started with the Exchange plug-in

The Exchange plug-in is installed with the Windows Agent on the host. Through the Cloud Backup Portal, you can configure jobs, back up Exchange databases to a secure, remote vault, and restore Exchange databases. The plug-in integrates into the existing architecture.

The plug-in provides the following capabilities:

  • Ability to back up and restore MS Exchange databases.

Installing the plug-in

The Exchange plug-in is installed during the Windows Agent 64-bit installation. The plug-in can be installed at the same time as the Agent or it can be installed later, by rerunning the installation with the Modify selection.

Before you install the plug-in for your MS Windows server, stop both IBM Cloud Backup for Classic services in services.msc.

When the installation is complete, check to make sure that both services are enabled and running. If Cloud Backup Portal is able to view and access the database, then the installation was successful.
