The procedure to create an Exchange Server backup script using a wizard is as follows:
Immediately after login, on the Action pane in which the Dashboard is displayed, click [for Exchange Server] under [Backup Wizard].
A list of servers is displayed by selecting [Server] on the global navigation tab, click [for Exchange Server] under [Backup Wizard] on the Action pane.
Check the message displayed in the Information area, and click the [Next] button at the lower right.
Check the selected backup configuration, and click the [Next] button at the lower right.
Select a Mailbox Server for the backup source, and click the [Next] button at the lower right.
Information
The servers that meet all the following conditions are displayed as a list of selectable servers on the backup source Mailbox Server selection screen:
It is registered on the ETERNUS SF system as a Managed Server of AdvancedCopy Manager.
It does not serve as a Management Server, as well.
The server operating system is Windows Server 2008 or later.
Select the database to be backed up within the Mailbox Server, and click the [Next] button at the lower right.
Check the backup destination volume name, and click the [Next] button at the lower right.
If you want to change the backup destination volume, select the [change destination volume] checkbox to change the backup destination volume using the drop-down menu.
Check the set contents displayed, and click the [Execute] button at the lower right.
Information
The transaction log file (.log) registered as backups by executing the backup wizard can be checked with swsrpdevdisp_exchange command.
In addition, performing backup with the backup execution script backs up all the transaction log files and checkpoint files in the selected database, which exist in the backup source volume.
Check that the following message is displayed in the Information area, and click the [Close] button at the lower right.
Backup setting for Exchange Server is complete. To backup databases automatically, register the script in a scheduler such as Task Scheduler of Windows.
Point
When the wizard completes, the script file to execute backup is stored in the backup source Mailbox Server under the file name shown below. Copy this script file to the folder in use and execute backup manually or alternatively register the script in the operating system scheduler.
$INS_DIR\Wizard\bat\execute_backup_<DBname>_<Date>.bat
$INS_DIR: "Program Directory" specified at the AdvancedCopy Manager's agent installation.
<DBname>: The name of the Mailbox database within the Mailbox Server selected in the wizard or public folder database name
<Date>: The date for executing the wizard (yyyymmddhhmmss format)
In addition, along with the execute backup script file, the script file to delete the registered volume configuration set up by the Backup Wizard is stored in the backup source Mailbox Server under the file name shown below. Copy this script file to the folder in use, and if a volume configuration is changed, manually delete the registered volume configuration.
$INS_DIR\Wizard\bat\delete_backup_<DBname>_<Date>.bat
$INS_DIR: "Program Directory" specified at the AdvancedCopy Manager's agent installation.
<DBname>: The name of the Mailbox database within the Mailbox Server selected in the wizard or public folder database name
<Date>: The date for executing the wizard (yyyymmddhhmmss format)
Note
When a backup script is being created (after clicking the [Execute] button), other processing may be kept waiting. Therefore, when any backup script is being created, do not perform any other processing.
Information
Clicking the [Next] button on the database selection screen performs fetching device information (*1) for Mailbox Server and Backup server. Therefore, if you cancel the backup wizard after clicking the [Next] button on the database selection screen, newly found device information by the backup wizard is kept reflected to AdvancedCopy Manager management information.
Though newly found device information exists in AdvancedCopy Manager management information, it does not affect the use of the backup wizard. However, to delete the device information from AdvancedCopy Manager management information, execute the stgxfwcmdeldev command. For details on the stgxfwcmdeldev command, refer to "stgxfwcmdeldev (Device information deletion command)" in the ETERNUS SF AdvancedCopy Manager Operation Guide.
*1: For explanation about fetching device information, refer to "Fetching device information on a Managed Server" in "Replication" in the ETERNUS SF AdvancedCopy Manager Operation Guide.
