Exchange Backup Part III
As with any type of disaster recovery, there are also the disadvantages. The disadvantages of Exchange backups include: speed, cost, administration knowledge, and the usage of other backup utilities. Restoring an email by means of Exchange will take time as there will be most likely many users in the system and many mailboxes to be scanned and restored. Cost is another factor, as this type of tool can be expensive. Because brick-level backups of Microsoft Exchange are a niche interest of larger enterprises, backup companies often need to charge premiums to justify the development of specialized software modules that deal with Microsoft Exchange.
BackupChain is capable of backing up Exchange and is also a convenient tool to protect VHDXs and VMDKs. If you have Exchange installed within a VM, be assured that BackupChain can replicate a virtual machine without interruptions.
