Discussion about Backup Exec 2014
Hi everyone!
I have a question about BE 2014.
I manage to running the BE to back up my Exchange 2013 Server.
Can anyone help me how to back up and restore it perfectly.
Many thanks!
Hi Minh Nguyen,
you can check Backup Exec 2014 Admin Guide (see link below, page 929) on how to configure BE2014 for MS Exchange.

Hello Minh,
Here are the steps:
1) First ensure that you have Agent for Application & Databases license installed
2) Add the Exchange server in Backup & Restore tab
3) You may require to install Backup Exec Remote Agent on the Exchange server if it is not already installed while adding the server
4) Create a backup job for the Exchange server and select Microsoft Information Store (This will select all the Exchange databases in the background).
5) In the backup job creation window go to Microsoft Exchange tab/node and ensure that the Granular Recovery Technology (GRT) option is selected.... by default it is selected
6) You can schedule and run this job

You also want to ensure you are meeting all the permissions and requirements to properly restore Exchange data. One of those requirements is that Backup Exec needs to have its own active mailbox in the Exchange database and MUST BE named unique within the first five characters. (Meaning the “Admin” account is not advised)
Even if you are having successful backups, you may encounter issues when going to do a restore as we are not actually touching the database during a backup job. That is not the case when restoring Exchange data.
Refer to the following documents for more information:
