1. Module 8 Implementing Backup and Recovery

2. Module Overview Planning Backup and Recovery Backing Up Exchange Server 2010 Restoring Exchange Server 2010

3. Lesson 1: Planning Backup and Recovery Discussion: The Importance of Planning for Disaster Recovery Integrating High Availability and Disaster Recovery Disaster Mitigation Options in Exchange Server 2010 Demonstration: Recovering Deleted Items Disaster Recovery Options for Mailbox Servers Demonstration: How to Create a Point-in-Time Database Snapshot Backup and Restore Scenarios

4. Discussion: The Importance of Planning for Disaster Recovery Why is it important to plan for a disaster? What do you do in your organization to plan for a disaster recovery?

5. Integrating High Availability and Disaster Recovery High availability integrates with disaster recovery as follows: Large mailbox considerations High availability options beyond traditional backup and restore Even in a highly available deployment, backup and recovery might still be necessary for maintaining your Exchange Server 2010 environment Link between high availability and disaster recovery

6. Disaster Mitigation Options in Exchange Server 2010 Risk Mitigation Option Loss of a message Configure recoverable items folder and deleted item retention settings Recover messages from backup by using the recovery database Loss of a mailbox Configure and use mailbox retention settings Configure hold policy, and recover it Back up the Exchange Server data, and recover database to a recover database Loss of a database or server Create a DAG on another server Recover the server from backup Install Exchange with /m:RecoverServer option Logical corruption in the database Create a lagged database copy in a DAG environment Backup the Exchange Server data, and recover database

7. Demonstration: Recovering Deleted Items In this demonstration, you will see how to configure single item recovery so that you can recover a deleted folder with the Discovery Search Mailbox to the original mailbox

10. Disaster Recovery Options for Mailbox Servers Exchange Server 2010 provides the following disaster recovery features for Mailbox servers: Disaster recovery with DAGs Point-in-time database snapshot with lagged copy of DAG Mailbox servers in a DAG can host other server roles Recovery database to recover mailboxes, folders, or items Lower cost of DAG backup compared to existing backup

11. Demonstration: How to Create a Point-in-Time Database Snapshot In this demonstration, you will see how to: Configure a database copy to a remote server Configure the database copy to be a lag database of one week Disable activation on the remote server

13. Backup and Restore Scenarios Requirements that may necessitate using traditional backup methods: No available DAGs Utilize an existing backup environment Single Exchange Server implementation Backups are governed by compliance requirements

14. Lesson 2: Backing Up Exchange Server 2010 Changes to Backup in Exchange Server 2010 Backup Requirements for Exchange Server 2010 Backup Strategies How Does a VSS Backup Work? Considerations for Selecting an Exchange Server Backup Solution Demonstration: How to Back Up Exchange Server 2010

15. Changes to Backup in Exchange Server 2010 Exchange Server 2010 changes that affect the backup of Exchange server databases: Removal of ESE streaming APIs for backup and restore Removal of storage groups Database no longer closely linked to a specific Mailbox server Using DAGs, you can have multiple database copies hosted on multiple servers and you can effectively have a backup- less Exchange Server organization

16. Backup Requirements for Exchange Server 2010 Exchange Server Role Backed-Up Data All roles System State of server and Active Directory database on domain controllers Mailbox server Databases and transaction logs Client Access server Server certificates used for SSL Specific IIS configuration Transport servers Message tracking logs Edge Transport server Content filtering database Unified Messaging server Custom audio prompts

17. Backup Strategies StrategyDescription Full backupA full backup performs an online backup of both the database files and transaction logs Full plus incremental An incremental backup captures only the data that has changed since the last full or incremental backup Full plus differential A differential backup captures only the data that has changed since the last full backup Copy backup A copy backup copies entire databases Brick-level backups A brick-level backup copies each message in each mailbox

18. How Does a VSS Backup Work? Disk 2Disk 1Disk 3Disk 4Disk 5 Writer: VSS writer freezes write operations to ensure data consistency Requestor: Vendor integration module for Exchange Server Volume Shadow Copy Service Provider (System or Hardware) e.g. storage array VSS: Produces consistent shadow copies by coordinating with business applications, file-system services, backup applications, and storage hardware VSS consists of a writer, a requestor, and a provider

19. Considerations for Selecting an Exchange Server Backup Solution When selecting a backup solution, consider the following: Backup software selection System characteristics Backup hardware selection

20. Demonstration: How to Back Up Exchange Server 2010 In this demonstration, you will see how to: Install Windows Server Backup Use Windows Server Backup to backup Exchange Server 2010 Use Event Viewer to verify backup of Exchange Server databases

22. Lesson 3: Restoring Exchange Server 2010 Restore Strategies Process for Recovering Data Using the Recovery Database Demonstration: How to Recover Data by Using the Recovery Database What Is Dial-Tone Recovery? Process for Implementing Dial-Tone Recovery What Is Database Mobility? Process for Recovering Computers That Run Exchange Server

23. Restore Strategies Restore and recovery strategies in Exchange Server 2010 include: Hold policy and Single Item Recovery Deleted mailbox retention Recovery database Dial-tone recovery Recovery server Database restores

24. Process for Recovering Data Using the Recovery Database Recovery database scenarios include: Dial-tone recovery Individual mailbox recovery Specific item recovery A recovery database lets you mount a second copy of a mailbox database and extract data Create a recovery database KJK Restore the database from backup Mount the database and extract data 1 1 2 2 3 3

25. Demonstration: How to Recover Data by Using the Recovery Database In this demonstration, you will see how to: Create the recovery database Restore data to the recovery database

26. Notes Page Over-flow Slide. Do Not Print Slide. See Notes pane.

27. What Is Dial-Tone Recovery? Benefits of dial-tone recovery: Dial-tone recovery is the process of implementing access to e-mail services without restoring data to user mailboxes Enables users to send and receive e-mail as soon as possible after the loss of a database or server Dial tone database can be merged with the recovered database into a single up-to-date mailbox database

28. Process for Implementing Dial-Tone Recovery Create the dial-tone database 5 If necessary, configure the mailboxes that were on the failed database to use the new dial-tone database If necessary, configure the Outlook client profiles Restore the failed databases from backup Merge the data in the two databases 1 1 2 2 3 3 4 4 5 5

29. What Is Database Mobility? To move a mailbox database to another server: Perform a soft recovery on the database Create the destination mailbox database Move the database files and mount the database Reconfigure the user mailboxes Database mobility enables you to move mailbox databases between Mailbox servers

30. Process for Recovering Computers That Run Exchange Server Install Windows Server 2008, and any service packs and software updates, on the computer that you are rebuilding Reset the Active Directory computer account for the failed server, and join the computer to the domain Run Exchange Server 2010 Setup in Recover Server mode Recover the Exchange Server data 1 1 2 2 3 3 4 4

32. Lab Scenario You are a messaging administrator for A. Datum Corporation. Your organization has deployed Exchange Server 2010. You now want to ensure that all Exchange Server-related data is backed up and that you can restore not only the full server or database, but also a mailbox or mailbox folder.

33. Lab Review What backup options can you use to recover a single mailbox? Which Exchange Server 2010 technology would you use to create a database backup at a remote site? What is VSS? What is dial-tone recovery?
