Symantec Backup Exec

To back up individual Exchange mailboxes

1. On the Tools menu, click Options.

2. On the Properties pane, under Job Defaults, click Microsoft Exchange.

3. Check Enable legacy mailbox support (Exchange 2003). This option is not recommended; use GRT instead.

4. If you want to recreate user accounts and mailboxes during a restore, check Back up the information used to automatically recreate user accounts and mailboxes.

   This option is not checked by default.

5. Click OK.

6. On the navigation bar, click the arrow next to Backup.

7. Click New Backup Job.

8. On the Properties pane, under Source, click Selections.

9. View the Exchange mailboxes or public folders that you want to back up by doing one or all of the following:

   
   

   To select Exchange mailboxes or public folders from local or remote computers:	Click the domain name icon or icons that contain the Exchange mailboxes. Expand the Microsoft Exchange Mailbox icon that contains the Exchange mailboxes or public folders.
   To select Exchange mailboxes or public folders from a clustered Exchange server:	On the virtual server, click the domain name icon or icons that contain the Exchange mailboxes. Expand the Microsoft Exchange Mailbox icon that contains the Exchange mailboxes or public folders.

10. Select the mailboxes or individual messages, mailboxes, and folders that you want to back up.

    When you select a mailbox or public folder, all folders and subfolders are included in the backup by default. For a faster backup, consider using Advanced File Selections to exclude some folders, such as Deleted Items or Sent Items, and subfolders from the backup.

    Because public folders can be replicated on multiple Exchange servers, select public folders from only one Exchange server.

11. If prompted, select a logon account that allows you to connect to the Exchange mailboxes or public folders.
