Back up your MS Exchange Server

1. Sign in to the IDrive 360 desktop application and click 'Server Backup'. A side panel appears.
2. Click 'On-premise MS Exchange'. The Exchange backup/restore console opens, and 'MS Exchange Backup' is selected by default.
   
   
3. Select 'Online Backup', 'Local Backup', or 'IDrive^® 360 Express™'.

   Note: Online Backup stores data in the IDrive 360 cloud. Local Backup and IDrive 360 Express store data on the local drive.

4. Select the mailbox databases displayed in the list and specify the temporary local folder for the backup files.
   

   Note:
   If connected to an Exchange Server Cluster, all databases available in the cluster are listed.

5. Click 'Schedule Now'.
   

   Note:
   (a) Ensure the temporary folder on the local system has enough free space to store the Exchange backup files.
   (b) A remote location cannot be used as the temporary backup directory.
   (c) When a local backup starts, the application automatically creates a '.ServerBackup' folder.

6. The Scheduler window appears, allowing you to schedule the backup for a future date/time or run it immediately.
   

   Note:
   After a successful online backup, the data is stored in the 'IDriveExchBackupset' folder in your cloud account. Do not rename, modify, or delete files in this folder, as it may affect restore operations. Avoid using this folder as a destination for any other backup or restore task.

Important Only one Exchange backup job can exist at a time, identified as 'IDExchangeServerBkset'.
