Defining a strategy

The purpose of creating Exchange Server backups is to recover an Exchange Server that is damaged from media failure or data corruption. Reliable use of backup and restore for recovery requires a strategy that maximizes data availability and minimizes data loss, while accounting for defined business requirements.

A backup-and-restore strategy is divided into two pieces: a backup piece and a restore piece.

•
The backup piece defines the type and frequency of backups that are required to meet the goals for availability of the Exchange Server and for minimizing data loss.
•
The restore piece defines who is responsible for performing restores and how restores should be performed to recover from the particular type of damage or failure.
