New for Data Protection for Microsoft Exchange Server Version 7.1.1
Data Protection for Microsoft Exchange Server includes several new features and changes.
- The required authority to perform mailbox restore operations is reduced
- In previous releases, only members of the Exchange Organization Management role group had the required administrative permissions to complete mailbox restore operations. With this release, it is no longer necessary for Exchange backup and restore operators to be in the Organization Management role group and have full administrative authority. You can use Exchange Role Based Access Control (RBAC) to limit users to specific operations, for example, view-only access to a mailbox list or individual mailbox restore operations. With RBAC management role scope, you can further limit the scope of restore operations, for example, to users in a single Active Directory domain.
- Capacity to keep a recovery database for mailbox restore operations
- With this release, you can retain a recovery database for reuse in mailbox restore operations. Alternatively, you can ensure that the recovery database is removed after a mailbox restore operation is complete. You can use the /KEEPRDB option with the restoremailbox command on the command-line interface, or specify the option in the Microsoft Management Console (MMC).
- Capacity to use or remove an existing recovery database during mailbox restore operations
- You can restore mailboxes from an existing recovery database, or you can automatically remove an existing recovery database during mailbox restore operations. You can choose whether to use a recovery database for mailbox restore operations in the MMC, or by using the /USEEXISTINGRDB option with the restoremailbox command on the command-line interface.
- Performance enhancements in Mailbox Restore Browser functionality
- Performance is significantly improved when the Mailbox Restore Browser feature restores whole mailboxes, mailbox folders, and selected mail messages.
- Usability enhancements in the Mailbox Restore Browser interface
- When you use the Mailbox Restore Browser interface to restore a mailbox, you can identify which backup version to restore from a list of available backups. Right-click menus are available for mailbox restore tasks.
- AES 256-bit encryption added as an available data encryption type
- AES 256-bit encryption is available as a data encryption type with this Data Protection for Exchange release. AES-256 provides the most secure algorithm to encrypt data that is sent to the Tivoli Storage Manager server. AES-128 and DES-56 encryption remains as encryption types that you can use.
- Options to bypass integrity checking in a Database Availability Group environment
- If at least two healthy copies of a database (one active and one passive copy) exist in a Database Availability Group (DAG) environment, it might not be necessary to verify the consistency of the database and log files. To expedite backup processing, you can bypass integrity checking of database and log files. You can use the /SKIPINTEGRITYCHECK options with the backup command on the command-line interface, or in the MMC.
