Configuring Exchange mailbox directory destination options

 

When using Exchange Method, the backup works by extracting Exchange Server mail data to separate .PST files, which can be then be manually read by Microsoft Outlook, or re-imported back into your Exchange Server. A separate .PST file is created for each Exchange user’s mailbox, making for simple and rapid restoration of user’s individual or group emails, calendar, tasks, notes, contacts or entire mailboxes. Exchange Method jobs are designed only to write mailbox data to PST files on disk. If you need to transfer mailbox data to a different hardware device (tape, REV, etc), you would need to create an additional backup job for this purpose.
Creating additional backup jobs

The Exchange Method also provides automatic grouping and storage of emails by date, allowing you to sort your mail into separate folders by year, quarter, or month.

To access the destination settings for the Exchange mailbox directory:

  1. Click Jobs in the navigation bar
  2. Select the job to be edited and click Edit at the bottom of the window.
  3. Click Destination on the left menu
