Installation and configuration of the IASO Backup Exchange Application Support Module
Step 1 - Preparations on the Exchange Server | Step 2 - Installation IASO ASM | Step 3 - Configuration IASO ASM
1.1 - Preparations on the Exchange Server
Make sure the Exchange Server meets the following requirements:
- Windows 2000 Server
- Service Pack 4
- .NET Framework 1.1 Service Pack 1
- Exchange 2000
- Service Pack 3 for Exchange 2000 Server [download]
- Windows Server 2003
- Service Pack 1
- Exchange Server 2003
- Service Pack 2 [download]
1.2 - Enable circular logging:
Make sure the Exchange Server is using circular logging. Exchange Server stores data in databases. To commit this data to the database, Exchange writes each transaction to a transaction log. In the background, these transaction logs are committed to the database. Exchange has a circular logging option that, when enabled, limits the amount of disk space that is used by these transaction logs. Because IASO's technology is based on Continuous Data Protection, the changes are also directly sent to the IASO Storage Server. In case of a disaster, the restore can be performed to the last working state, without the usage of the Exchange transaction logs. If circular logging is disabled, the size of the log files may increase very fast, without beeing useful.
Go to:
- Start
- Programs -> Microsoft Exchange -> System Manager
- Expand Server, right-click the storage group that you want to change, and then click Properties.
- In the Properties dialog box, click to select or clear the Enable Circular Logging check box to turn circular logging on or off. 3
- Click OK. When you are prompted to confirm that you want to continue, click Yes.
- Restart the Microsoft Exchange Information Store service. To do this, follow these steps:a. Click Start, point to Programs, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Services.
- In the right pane, click Microsoft Exchange Information Store. Then, click Restart on the Action menu. If you receive a message that other services will also be restarted, click Yes.
