PowerProtect Data Manager 19.15 Microsoft Exchange Server User Guide

Before you perform the granular-level restore of a Microsoft Exchange Server backup on a proxy server without the Microsoft Exchange Server, you must meet the following prerequisites:

• Ensure that you have the client name, storage unit name, and storage unit user of the protection policy:

  • To obtain the storage unit name login to the Microsoft Exchange Server node, run the following command:

    $servercofig=Import-ExchangeBackupConfigFile -backup

    Select the correct option, and note the details of the DD, storage unit, and client name from the command output.

  • To obtain the DD Boost user of the storage unit login to the DD, run the following command:

    ddboost storage-unit show

    Note the name of the user.

• Ensure that you have the password for the DD user that originally performed the Microsoft Exchange Server backup. The PowerProtect Data Manager Security Configuration Guide provides information on how to retrieve the password.

• Ensure that the lockbox file contains the required DD parameter settings that were used for the Microsoft Exchange Server backup.

  Sample contents of the lockbox.txt file are as follows:

  CLIENT=IPDAG2016.E16.COM
  DEVICE_PATH=/Sree_cbp1_proxy_glr_test1-ppdm-58-127-012fc/PLCTLP-5e3aa6fe-af47-4b96-b16d-21e8503c8d30

  DDBOOST_USER=Sree_cbp1_pro-ppdm-58-127-012fc
