Hello,
I am configuring DPM to protect an Exchange Server but I'm not sure about one specific option I have.
As you can see below, there is an application backup "Mailbox Database 06...." and the volume backup of "e:\" drive which also includes the EDB file. This probably means that I'm using twice the amount of space for the database.
The question is, is it safe to exclude "*.edb" files because I already have the application backup? Can I do a bare metal recovery without the EDP file and restore the exchange server? Of course I believe that I will need to recover the database after completing the BMR. Is that correct?
(also, this is a VM, so I will be doing a BMR on a VM if this changes anything at all)
Thanks,
Baybars
