Backup Exec 2014 Vs MS-Exchange 2013

[NickJonny]

I would like to understand the BE-2014 version's technical limitations and/or points-to-be-considered for MS-Exchange 2013 backup/restore operations.

Example: 

1. Maximum backup size allowed per job, etc...
2. To back up Microsoft Exchange Server 2013, you must install Backup Exec on a Microsoft Windows 2008 R2 SP1 64-bit server or newer.

@ Imosla,

Thank you for the detailed information.

I have Exchange databases with different data sizes (varies from 145 GB to 1228 GB) so I need to know the maximum data size allowed per backup job.

AFAIK, there is no size limit for Exchange.

In fact, there is no maximum size limit as such for any backup job in BE.

you might hit performance vs backup window limits, but these are down to the environment and individual customer requirements and not something we could document

Thank you all.
