To backup your MS Exchange Server,

1. Login to the IDrive application and click the ‘Server Backup’ tab.
2. Under the 'On-premise MS Exchange Server', click 'Backup'.
   
   
3. Select the mailbox database(s) from the list which appears and specify the local backup location.
4. Select Online Backup or Local Backup radio button, and click Schedule Now.
   

   Note:

   (a) Ensure that the selected temporary folder on the local computer has sufficient free hard drive space to hold the MS Exchange Server backup files. You cannot select a remote location as a temporary location for the MS Exchange Server backup.

   (b) Once local backup is initiated, '.ServerBackup' folder is auto created.

5. The ‘Schedule backup’ screen is displayed where you can schedule the backup for any future day and time or perform an immediate backup of the selected databases.
   

   Note: On successful backup of the MS Exchange Server databases to your IDrive account, the files are stored in a folder called 'IDriveExchBackupset'. It is not advisable to update or delete files manually as it may interrupt the MS Exchange Server restore operation. Also, avoid using the 'IDriveExchBackupset' as a destination folder for any other backup/ restore operation.

   
   At any given point of time, you can maintain only one backup job named 'IDExchangeServerBkset'.
