Your company’s network consists of a single Active Directory domain. You install Windows Essential Business Server 2008 on the network. You want to back up the Exchange Server 2007 installed on the Messaging Server.
What should you use?
A.
System Center Operations Manager 2007
B.
the Windows Server Backup utility
C.
System Center Data Protection Manager (DPM) 2007
D.
the Ntbackup.exe utility
Explanation:
You should use System Center Data Protection Manager (DPM) 2007. The Windows Server Backup feature in Windows Server 2008 does not support Exchange-aware backups and restores. To back up and restore Exchange Server 2007 Service Pack 1 (SP1) on Windows Server 2008, you must use an Exchange-aware application that supports the Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) writer for Exchange 2007, such as Microsoft System Center Data Protection Manager or a third-party Exchange-aware VSS-based application. Additionally, you can use a third-party Exchange-aware application that uses the streaming backup APIs locally on the Exchange server to make a backup locally on the Exchange server.You should not use System Center Operations Manager 2007. System Center Operations Manager 2007 provides end-to-end monitoring for the enterprise IT environment, but it does not support Exchange-aware backups and restores.
You should not use the Windows Server Backup utility because this utility does not support Exchange-aware backups and restores.
You should not use the Ntbackup.exe utility because this utility has been replaced with Windows Server Backup in Windows Server 2008.
