Creating an Email message backup set (EWS)
The following procedure provides instructions on creating an Email message backup set for Microsoft Exchange Server using EWS.
1. On the Sets menu, click New Backup Set. The New Backup Set Wizard appears.
2. On the Choose the kind of backup page, select E-Mail Messages, and then click Next.
3. On the Choose the E-Mail Server type page, select Microsoft Exchange Server (using EWS), and then click Next.
4. On the Backup from Microsoft Exchange Server page, in the Path field, type the IP address of the Exchange server from which data will be backed up.
By default, your current credentials for DS-Client will be used to connect to the selected computer.
5. Select Ask for Network Credentials, and then click Next.
6. In the Enter Network Credentials dialog box, provide the credentials that have the required permission and license to access the Exchange server.
7. In the From field, type the complete domain name of the Exchange server. For example, if the email messages at the backup source are addressed to user@company.local, type company.local in this field.
The list of items (e.g., source, nodes, mailboxes) displayed in the next dialog box will depend on the credentials entered in this dialog box.
8. When you have provided the necessary details, click Next.
9. On the Select Users and Services for Backup page, select the mailboxes, folders, or individual items to back up.
NOTE: You can exclude a folder or individual item only when its parent mailbox or folder has already been added.
To add or exclude individual items inside a folder:
a) Expand the mailbox, select the folder (for example, Inbox), and then click Items.
b) Select the individual email messages or entries that you want to specify, and then click Add or Exclude as needed.
c) When you have added or excluded the required items, click Finish.
After you click Finish, the items that you have just added or excluded are displayed in the Backup Items Selected section.
10. When you have specified what you want to back up, click Next.
11. On the Specify backup item options page, double-click the column Max gen, define the maximum number of generations for backup, and then click Next.
12. On the Specify backup set options page, select the required options, and then click Next.
The Specify notification options page appears.
The steps for all subsequent wizard pages are the same as for Windows File system backups. Continue in
“Specifying notification options” in the section for File system backups.
