- Course 10135B Presentation: 75 minutes Lab: 75 minutes After completing this module, students will be able to: Plan backup and recovery Backup Microsoft® Exchange Server 2010 Restore Exchange Server 2010 Required materials To teach this module, you need the Microsoft Office PowerPoint® file 10135B_08.ppt. Important: We recommend that you use PowerPoint 2002 or a newer version to display the slides for this course. If you use PowerPoint Viewer or an earlier version of PowerPoint, all the features of the slides might not display correctly. Preparation tasks To prepare for this module: Read all of the materials for this module. Practice performing the demonstrations and the lab exercises. Work through the Module Review and Takeaways section, and determine how you will use this section to reinforce student learning and promote knowledge transfer to on-the-job performance. Note about the demonstrations : To prepare for the demonstrations, start the 10135B-VAN-DC1 virtual machine and log on to the server before starting the other virtual machines. To save time during the demonstrations, log on to the Exchange servers and open the Exchange Server management tools before starting the demonstrations. Additionally, connect to the Microsoft Outlook® Web App site on the Exchange servers, and then log on as Administrator. It can take more than a minute to open the management tools and Outlook Web App for the first time. Module 8: Implementing Backup and Recovery

- Make sure that the discussion about planning provides enough depth so students understand the seriousness of this topic. Write down the best examples on a whiteboard so you can refer to these scenarios when considering the new backup and recovery options later in this module. Question: What current plan does your organization have for disaster recovery? Answer: Answers may include various options, such as maintaining guidelines, performing regularly scheduled restores (such as every month), and conducting drills to increase administrators’ experience with the restore process. Additionally, interesting discussion points include how the students teach disaster-recovery processes to new employees or how they ensure the plan remains up-to-date. Question: What issues have you seen with your current disaster recovery process? Answer: Answers may include various options, such as the recovery process is very complex or complicated thus hard to understand, never tested or tested only once a year, new employees are not aware of it because they are not specifically taught on the disaster recovery process or they never practically did it. The discussion could also go around how to access the recover procedures or required passwords in an emergency; or around the decision process to be able to recover a server (which might require to involve senior management and that can take a while of course). The students can also talk about that recovery procedures are outdated as they are not updated frequently when configuration changes occur. Course 10135B Module 8: Implementing Backup and Recovery
- Stress that the first and most important decision when planning a mailbox database design is whether the organization will implement Database Availability Groups (DAGs) or not. The answer to this question goes a long way in determining how the other design questions will be answered. Discuss each of the configuration setting below twice, once for organizations that will decide to implement DAGs, and once for organizations that will not implement DAGs. Explain backup policies, and how they should be managed in an organization. Explain mailbox database size considerations. Explain the importance of database and transaction log locations. Explain the different type of storage solutions organizations may choose according to their requirements. Question: When would you want or need to create multiple databases? Answer: You may discuss a number of reasons, depending on the students. Often, organizations create databases to separate users in different departments or geographical regions, or users that require different service levels. Maintaining a database at a manageable size also is important. You should size databases to fit on the available storage, yet still have enough room for growth. Additionally, their size should coincide with the backup and recovery times that you define for the messaging system. Course 10135B Module 8: Implementing Backup and Recovery
- Explain Exchange Native Data Protection and what it means for your students ’ existing backup solutions. Explain that native data protection might be a good alternative to completely retiring your existing solution. You can ask the students if they are considering Exchange Native Data Protection and what reasons might exist to still use a backup solution. Question: Would Exchange Native Data Protection be an option for your organization? Answer: The answers depend on your organizations point of view on backups. If your organization is an governmental agency, there might be a regulatory requirement for traditional backups thus Native Data Protection might not be a valid option. For an public organization it can be a valid way to save a lot of money in backup hardware and software. Course 10135B Module 8: Implementing Backup and Recovery
- Exchange Server 2010 provides several tools and features for mitigating a disaster’s impact. This includes setting deleted item retention times, deleted mailbox retention time, and high availability. Be prepared to spend considerable time on this topic. Review the potential risks, and then discuss how you can mitigate them. Ask the students if they can think of any other risks, and then discuss options for mitigating those risks. Mention that this lesson provides details about how to recover from some of the disasters. Be sure to mention the new Exchange Server 2010 features: Message recovery. You can use the Recoverable Items folder in Exchange Server 2010, and apply the Message Retention hold policies to the folder to retain hard-deleted and modified data for a specified time. This makes it much easier and faster to recover these items. Point-in-time database snapshot. If a point-in-time copy of mailbox data is a requirement for your organization, Exchange Server 2010 provides the ability to create a lagged copy in a DAG environment. You can use a lagged copy in the rare event that there is a logical corruption that replicates across the DAG databases. You can mitigate this corruption by returning to a previous database snapshot. Question: What mitigation strategy can you follow to be able to recover single messages for a mailbox? Answer: The best strategy to recover messages in Exchange 2010 is to configure single item recovery, and then recover the messages using a discovery mailbox. Course 10135B Module 8: Implementing Backup and Recovery
- In this demonstration, you will show the students how to configure single item recovery for Jeff Hay’s mailbox.

Answer: Using single item recovery is quicker than existing brick-level backup solutions, because you do not need to recover the data from the backup device.
- Course 10135B Module 8: Implementing Backup and Recovery
- Describe the changes in Exchange Server 2010, and how they affect backups: Removal of Exchange Storage Engine (ESE) streaming application programming interfaces (APIs) Removal of storage groups Database no longer closely linked to a specific Mailbox server The database mobility topic will be discussed later in the module. You can start a discussion on using a combination of DAGs and traditional backups, and how this affects circular logging. Circular logging works with DAGs, but can be problematic when you decide to perform traditional backups, such as to a tape. So you should consider turning off circular logging when you implement a backup tool. Course 10135B Module 8: Implementing Backup and Recovery
- Each server hosting an Exchange Server role stores some information locally. The precise data or information varies by server role. As a result, an Exchange Server backup plan must include backing up the information and data that each server role stores. Additionally, you need to back up of Active Directory® Domain Services (AD DS) and Active Directory directory services to ensure Exchange Server recovery. Use the table to describe the data that you should back up on Exchange Server 2010 computers. Describe why you should back up each component. Course 10135B Module 8: Implementing Backup and Recovery
- The only option for backing up Exchange Server 2010 is a Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS)-based backup. Exchange Server administrators must be aware of how VSS backups work, and how to configure backups. Explain the following VSS definitions: Writer. of an application that coordinates its input/output (I/O) with VSS, such as flushing unwritten data to disk. Requestor . Backup or restore application. Provider. Low-level hardware interface. Reference How Volume Shadow Copy Service Works http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=179980 Course 10135B Module 8: Implementing Backup and Recovery
- Describe the considerations for choosing an Exchange Server backup solution. Ensure that students understand the limitations of using Windows Server Backup in Windows Server® 2008 to back up and restore Exchange Server. Explain that third-party backup solutions often charge an additional fee to support Exchange Server. It must be an application that is Exchange Server-aware, or a VSS-based backup application or one that supports the ESE streaming backup APIs. Some students may be unfamiliar with disk-based backups. Ensure that they understand there are other disk-based backup solutions apart from using a portable USB drive. Course 10135B Module 8: Implementing Backup and Recovery
- In this demonstration, you will show the students how to install the Windows Server Backup program and how to use Windows Server Backup to backup Exchange Server 2010. Note : You as the instructor can decide if you actually want spend the 15 to 20 minutes to install Windows Server Backup and run the backup ,or to do the backup during a lab exercise, and just show students how to configure backup without actually performing it during the demonstration. The backup that results from this demonstration is required for the restore demonstrations later in this module. You can start the demonstration, and then continue with the presentation rather than waiting for the backup to finish. Or, you can perform the backup while the students are working on the previous lab and then not perform this demonstration.

You can use Windows Server Backup to backup Exchange Server data to a file share. Course 10135B Module 8: Implementing Backup and Recovery
- Course 10135B Module 8: Implementing Backup and Recovery
- This topic introduces two new cmdlets to the students: New-MailboxRepairRequest , and New-PublicFolderDatabaseRepairRequest . Some students should be aware of the ISINTEG.EXE tool that was available in Exchange Server 2003 and Exchange Server 2007. You could ask who has used the tool recently, and what the drawbacks of the tool were. Most of the students will tell you that taking the database offline is the biggest problem. Talk about the two cmdlets and their parameters, such as DetectOnly, before proceeding to the demonstration. Question: In your Exchange Server environment you experience corrupt mailbox items. What can you do to remove these corrupt items from the mailboxes? Answer: You can use the New-MailboxRepairRequest cmdlet. Course 10135B Module 8: Implementing Backup and Recovery
- Exchange Server provides a variety of data-recovery options, including using recovery databases, dial-tone restores, and database and server restores. Exchange Server administrators must be aware of when to use each option. Course 10135B Module 8: Implementing Backup and Recovery
- If students are not familiar with Exchange Server 2003 or Exchange Server 2007, spend some time discussing how those versions used the recovery storage group, and then discuss the differences in how Exchange Server 2010 implements recovery databases instead of storage groups. Course 10135B Module 8: Implementing Backup and Recovery
- In this demonstration, you will show how to create a recovery database and how to restore data to the recovery database. As you perform the demonstration, discuss the recovery database features and functionalities. Preparation Ensure that the 10135B-DC1, 10135B-VAN-EX1, and 10135B-VAN-EX2 virtual machines are running. Log on to 10135B-VAN-EX1 as Administrator with the password of Pa$$w0rd . Also, you need to have an offline copy of your database available at C:\\DBBackup.

At the Exchange Management Shell prompt, type Restore-Mailbox -Identity Michiyo -RecoveryDatabase RecoverDB , and then press Enter. At the Confirm prompt, type Y , and then press Enter. Question : What is the difference between using Single Item Recovery and performing a restore by using the recovery database? Answer : The Single Item Recovery stores the items in the mailbox database on the Exchange server, so the data still occupies space in the Exchange Server database. A recovery database is stored on a secondary device that provides a cheaper way to store data, like a hard drive or tape drive. Using Single Item Recovery, you can restore the items or mailboxes more quickly than you can by using a recovery database. However, some administrators may want to use recovery databases, because they performed mailbox restorations by using this method in previous Exchange Server versions. Course 10135B Module 8: Implementing Backup and Recovery
- Ask students if they have ever implemented dial-tone recovery in Exchange Server. This is an option in Exchange Server 2003 and Exchange Server 2007, but it is much easier to implement in Exchange Server 2010. Describe dial-tone recovery, and then discuss scenarios in which you would implement dial-tone recovery. Stress the advantage of using AutoDiscover to automatically reconfigure the profile for users running Microsoft Office Outlook 2007. Course 10135B Module 8: Implementing Backup and Recovery
- Explain that there are several dial-tone recovery scenarios, but that all scenarios follow the same general steps. Describe the general steps for implementing dial-tone recovery. Course 10135B Module 8: Implementing Backup and Recovery
- The process of restoring a failed server has not changed significantly from previous Exchange Server versions. Ask students if they ever restored a computer running Exchange Server by using the /m:RecoverServer switch. Stress that for the disaster-recovery installation to succeed, the computer account for the failed server must exist in AD DS and Active Directory, because all configuration information that the Recover Server mode uses is associated with that account. Course 10135B Module 8: Implementing Backup and Recovery

- Use the questions on the slide to guide the debriefing after students have completed the lab exercises. Question : What backup options can you use to recover a single mailbox? Answer: You can use hold policy and the Deleted Items folder to restore items from a mailbox. You can recover a deleted mailbox using deleted mailbox retention. However, if the deleted mailbox is older than your deleted mailbox-retention setting, you need to use a recovery database to restore the mailbox. Question : Which Exchange Server 2010 technology would you use to create a database backup at a remote site? Answer: You can use DAGs to create a database backup at a remote site. Question : What is VSS? Answer: VSS is a snapshot-based backup system. Question : What is dial-tone recovery? Answer: Dial-tone recovery is the process that enables you to implement access to email without restoring data after a disaster. Course 10135B Module 8: Implementing Backup and Recovery
- Review Questions Question: What kind of backup options for Exchange Server 2010 do you find suitable for your organization? Answer : Exchange Server 2010 provides you with various options for backing up your Exchange Server environment, from the traditional Windows Server Backup to Exchange Question: Native Data Protection that uses multiple database copies and a lagged database. What options does Exchange Server 2010 include for restoring a single item from a mailbox? Answer: You can use hold policy and the Deleted Items folder to restore items from a mailbox. Alternatively, you can restore the database to a restore database, and then access the mailbox to recover items. Common Issues Related to Recovering Messages Identify the causes for the following common issues related to recovering messages, and complete the troubleshooting tips. For answers, refer to relevant lessons in the module. Best Practices Related to Backup and Restore Supplement or modify the following best practices for your own work situations: Utilize your existing backup solution for Exchange Server backups, as you are already experienced and familiar with it. Try always to perform a full backup of your Exchange Server databases if you use a VSS-aware backup solution. This reduces the time you need to recover the database to its most current state.
