Online Backup

In this backup method backups of Exchange databases files are done while Exchange services are running means no need to stop or shut down Exchange server for taking backup.

An online backup can be performed in following ways:

A Normal Backup is process to backs up the directory or Exchange store in its entirety, as well as the log files.

A Copy Backup is used to get a full backup of the directory or Exchange store without disturbing the state of on going incremental or differential backups.

An Incremental Backup backs up only the log files, and then purges them, means backs up the subset of the component that has changed since the last normal or incremental backup.

A Differential Backup backs up changes in the directory or Exchange store that have occurred since the last normal backup.

In this backup method backups of Exchange files and folders are taken when Exchange services are not running, means server is shutdown. If services are not running, backup software can easily access to database files and can back them up.

Inbuilt Utility For Backup

NTBackup is a windows inbuilt utility that is basically used in backing up data for MS Exchange Server 2000/2003.

Windows Server Backup (WSBExchange.exe), an built-in utility in Windows 7 and later versions of Windows operating systems, is used for MS Exchange 2007/2010 Servers.

Except these inbuilt tools, there are some third party backup applications which can be used to backup data of Exchange Server.

Limitations of Inbuilt Utilities

NT Backup utility is not so much supportive for the heavy corruption in database

NT Backup utility is not applicable in hidden files and directories that are restricted from general user, Ex:-Home Directory

NT Backup cannot be used to back up registries on remote computers.

NT Backup has no scheduling capabilities of its own. It need an outside scheduler

WSBExchange.exe or Windows Server Backup tool makes VSS based backup only

Only supports to full backup, you can restore single information storage group but can not single database
