Without e-mail, companies cannot function; period! The loss of e-mail
services for an extended period of time can be disastrous. The smaller
the company, the bigger the disaster, due to limited IT resources.
In fact, 93% of all companies that experience “significant data loss” are out of
business within five years.
The mailbox and public folder which stores data in your Exchange databases and
transaction log files are the most important data to protect as part of your e-mail
disaster recovery plan. To secure them you can create an image of the entire disk
contents.
However, restoring requires bringing back the entire image. If you only want to
backup and restore the Exchange database contents, using a purpose-built
solution is best. This is especially true if you need the capability to recover to the
mailbox or message level.
As e-mail is a critical part of any business, it is essential to complete a recovery
of the Microsoft Exchange Server in minutes, not hours or days. To achieve this,
Acronis, the leader in disaster recovery software, developed Acronis® Recovery™ for
Microsoft® Exchange. Using a flexible, intuitive interface, Exchange administrators
can backup the mail database at the brick or database level, assuring users have
availability to e-mail with virtually no loss of productivity.
With one-step automated backup, you can rest assure that all of your organisation’s
critical communications are preserved. When disaster strikes, Acronis Recovery
for Microsoft Exchange will enable you to retrieve specific e-mails, shared folders,
or entire mailboxes for specific users and to maintain e-mail services.
Acronis Recovery for Microsoft Exchange is an excellent complement to the
award-winning Acronis True Image family of disaster recovery and system
migration products, using patented disk-imaging technology. Together, they
deliver comprehensive server and workstation disaster recovery and full Microsoft
Exchange database protection — a winning disaster recovery plan combination.
