Exchange Vm Snapshot Backups

ghoda
Level 2

Dear Team,

Recently I have upgraded by Backup Server to Version 20. Currently 90 percent of environment is running vm Snapshot Backups.

I have 3 Exchange Servers in DaG, currently I am doing agent based backup for Exchange-Dag and my current full backup size is 10 TB

I was thinking of doing Vmsnapshot backups for All 3 Exchange Servers with Application GRT enabled.

I will storing the backups in exagrid appliance, Below are my questions

1. What about my full backups , will it be 10 TB as before or 30 TB?, like 3 times for all 3 Exchange Servers- Ideally it should be 10 TB , I mean one time rather than storing it 3 times, can you please advise?

 

2. on exagrid appliance already my Exchange data is written, so will it right new 10 TB data or it will just update the increments on appliance level- As far as i know it will create new backup data

3. How good is VmSnapshot Backups in terms of Exchange Servers.

If you are using DAG, that mean all of exchanges in the DAG group will have the database copy. so If you are using VM level backup. all the things insde VM will be backup.

The backup size will be 10TB * 3
