How Does User Mailbox Backup and Restore Work?
The SonicWALL CDP Microsoft Exchange User Mailbox Backup and Restore feature is
implemented as a server application that is automatically discovered by the SonicWALL CDP
Agent User Interface. To get started using the feature, select the
Policies
tab and then select
Applications
in the left pane of the Agent User Interface. To backup user mailboxes, you must
configure an application object, a schedule, and a backup task that includes both the
application object and the schedule.
The User Mailbox application allows you to add or delete individual user mailboxes for backup,
set backup schedules, restore specific backups of individual mailboxes, enter credentials for
accessing the Exchange server, and configure offsite backup. You can view log entries in the
SonicWALL CDP Agent User Interface on the
Status
tab to verify that backups are successful.
Installation Prerequisites
This section lists the necessary prerequisites for successful operation of the SonicWALL CDP
Agent User Interface with the Microsoft Exchange User Mailbox Backup and Restore feature.
For information about supported servers and versions of Exchange, see the
“Supported
Platforms and Deployment Requirements” section on page 21
.
Note
The SonicWALL CDP appliance must be licensed for server applications. On models that do
not support server application licenses, such as SonicWALL CDP 110 and 210, you can still
use the User Mailbox Backup and Restore feature.
ExOLEDB / ADO / CDO Requirements for Exchange 2007/2003/2000
SonicWALL CDP uses
ExOLEDB
to access Microsoft Exchange 2007, 2003, and 2000. The
Exchange OLE DB Provider
should be installed along with Microsoft Exchange, and must be
accessible by the SonicWALL CDP Web Management Interface and Agent User Interface.
The ADO (ActiveX Data Objects) and CDO (Collaboration Data Objects) APIs are also required
by this feature. These are application programming interfaces provided by Microsoft that allow
applications to access data stores in a uniform manner. These APIs are included with the Microsoft
Exchange installation.
Note
This requirement does not apply to Exchange 2010.
ESE Backup Client DLL/ CDOEXM Requirements for Legacy Exchange
SonicWALL CDP uses the Exchange Backup and Restore API to access Microsoft Exchange.
The Microsoft ESE Backup Client DLL (EsEbCli2.dll) should be installed along with Microsoft
Exchange, and must be accessible by SonicWALL CDP Web Management Interface and Agent
User Interface. The Collaboration Data Objects for Exchange Management (CDOEXM) APIs
are also used to automate the restore procedure, but not required by this feature.
Note
This requirement only applies for Exchange backups created on SonicWALL CDP 5.1 or
earlier.
