Hi everyone,
I'm heavy into presentation/explanation of how things work in IT for our company.
I'm now into backups now and need to explain how it works. I would like to know how BE works exactly when it comes to backing up exchange. How does it do it exactly? Does it make a copy of the DB then puts it to tape? Is the backup realtime when it runs the job?
Just to explain our network. 2 ESX hosts 7 servers in total (5 VM's). 2 DC's 1 exchange 1 accounting 1 file. The physical servers are a backup server with BE 2010 installed with an autoloader attached SAS and 1 key card server. GB switches and a UPS with a battery pack. 1 SAN
Small side question for me, if for some reason like an exchange BE failure. If I backup during the day will that make a big impact? Personally, I don't think so since it is a solid network.
I know I'm asking a lot. But all answers are appreciated.
Thanks
