We have a Win 2008r2 server with Exchange 2010 on Hyper-V. We use Windows Server Backup from 2008r2 to do Copy Backups of the whole server. But that will not restore Exchange. Can I run WSB from within Exchange to do a full backup that will be able to restore Exchange?
I started to try that yesterday but during the 'consistency check' Exchange stopped performing, mail stopped and I stopped the backup. I don't know how long it will take or if Exchange will start again after the consistancy check. I am the accidental techie.
Or should I use the free Veeam? We are a non-profit with no money.
Thanks,
Kevin
I have read lots of threads but am still not clear about the Hyper-V part, including:
