Title
Exchange 2007 and the NetVault Exchange Mailbox APM -
Description
Date - 01/2008
Affected Product & Version - NetVault: Backup 7.4.x / 8.x
Affected Module & Version - Exchange Individual Mailbox APM (version n/a)
OS Version - Windows 2003 (64-bit)
Application Information - Exchange 2007
Description:
With Exchange 2007, the NetVault Exchange Mailbox APM is no longer available.
This article explains why and offers a workaround.
Symptoms:
In order to backup individual mailboxes, our Exchange Mailbox APM was relying on the Microsoft Exchange
Legacy Development Technique called MAPI (Messaging Application Programming Interface).
With the release of Exchange 2007, Microsoft decided to remove MAPI from the standard distribution, the reason being that this interface was problematic and unstable.
Since Microsoft advises to discontinue using MAPI, Quest has decided not to use it.
Alternatively, we offer a solution along with the guidance of Microsoft.
It requires the use of NetVault Exchange Server APM in conjunction with the Microsoft Exchange recovery functionalities: "Deleted Item Retention" and "Recovery Storage Groups"
