You must have localregistry rights (for all versions of Exchange Server) to perform a Data Protectionfor Exchange backup. This command also backs up Site Replication Service (SRS)databases. Use the /excapplication option when backing up this databases.When a full Legacy backup is performed, all active Legacy backups previous tothis full backup are automatically inactivated for the particular storage group thatis being backed up.Note: Microsoft Exchange Server considers the wildcard character (*) to be aninvalid character when used in database and storage group names. As a result,database and storage groups that contain the wildcard character (*) in their namewill not be backed up.When a full VSS snapshot backup (created for back up to local shadow volumes) isperformed, the backup remains active until the backup version is expired on theTivoli Storage Manager server according to the defined server policy. As a result,five different active backups can exist at the same time:v Legacyv VSS local (full)v VSS local (copy)v VSS Tivoli Storage Manager server (full)v VSS Tivoli Storage Manager server (copy)For SAN Volume Controller storage subsystems, only one backup is allowed tooccur while the background copy process is pending. A new backup is notperformed until the background copy process for the previous backup completes.As a result, local backups for SAN Volume Controller storage subsystems shouldbe initiated at a frequency greater than the time required for the background copyprocess to complete.See “Backup strategies” on page 14 for additional information related to thebackup command.Data Protection for Exchange supports the following types of backup:Chapter 5.
