Mail-Level Backup for Exchange 2010 / 2013 in Database Availability Group (DAG)
Each member in the DAG requires separate CloudBacko Pro and MS Exchange Module license to perform mail level backup for all Exchange DAG members.
Create Backup Set
1. Click the Backup Sets icon on the main interface of CloudBacko Pro.
2. Create a new backup set by clicking the “+” icon next to Add new backup set.
3. Select the Backup set type as MS Exchange Mail Level Backup and choose the correct Exchange Server version with “Database Availability Group”. Name your new backup set and then click Next to proceed.
4. In the Backup Source menu, select the Mailbox Database for backup.
You can click to expand the mailbox database to select which mailbox to back up, and then click Show mails to select individual mail to back up. Click Next to proceed when you are done.
5. In the Schedule menu, you can configure a backup schedule for backup job to run automatically at your specified time interval. By default the Run scheduled backup for this backup set option is disabled. Enable it then click the “+” icon next to Add new schedule. Click Next to proceed when you are done setting.
6. In the Destination menu, select a backup destination where the backup email will be stored. Click the “+” icon next to Add new storage destination / destination pool.
You can add multiple destinations to a backup set, e.g. Google Drive., by clicking the “Add” button.
If you have more than one destination in the list, you can set the backup mode to Sequential or Concurrent.
Click Next on the Destination menu page to proceed.
7. In the Encryption window, by default the Encrypt Backup Data option is enabled with an encryption key preset by the system which provides the most secure protection.
You can choose from one of the following 2 Encryption Type options:
- Default – an encryption key with 44 alpha numeric characters will be randomly generated by the system
- Custom – you can customize your encryption key, where you can set your own algorithm, encryption key, method and key length.
Click Next when you are done setting.
8. If you have enabled the Encryption Key feature in the previous step, the following pop-up window shows, no matter which encryption type you have selected.
The pop-up window has the following three options to choose from:
- Unmask encryption key – The encryption key is masked by default. Click this option to show the encryption key.
- Copy to clipboard – Click to copy the encryption key, then you can paste it in another location of your choice.
- Confirm – Click to exit this pop-up window and proceed to the next step
9. Enter the Windows login credentials for user authentication. Click Next to proceed.
10. The following screen shows when the new backup set is created successfully. Backup will run automatically at the configured scheduled time.
11. Do not click the Backup now button, as you need to create backup set on each of the CloudBacko Pro installed on other DAG member machines with the following steps:
i. Click the Close button instead and go back to the main menu. Now we need to export the settings on this first node, and then import to the second node, export the settings on the second node and import to the third node, etc. until the last node in the cluster. Lastly, export the settings on the last node and import to the first node to complete the process.
a. Go to Utitlities > Ex/Import Settings.
b. Click Export Now.
ii. Choose to export the setting file to any volume in the cluster storage which is visible to all nodes.
iii. Now go to the second node and launch CloudBacko Pro. Go to Utitlities > Ex/Import Settings, and click Import Now button.
iv. Select the settings.sys file from the location you saved it in the first node. In the Settings screen, check all the checkboxes.
v. You should see Successfully import selected settings after successful import.
vi. If you have a third node, export the settings from the second node and perform step v to vii on the third node.
vii. Perform v to viii until reaching the last node. Then, export the settings from the last node and then go to the first node and import the settings to the first node.
viii. On each node, go into Backup Sets, select the Exchange DAG backup set, and in the Owner filed, you should see all nodes there.
