Microsoft Application Support
The Barracuda Backup Agent provides the ability to back up these Microsoft server applications: Exchange, SQL, Hyper-V, System State and Sharepoint. In each case, a full restore of these environments allows an organization to recover in the event that their environment has been corrupted or destroyed. Additional restore options allow Exchange to be restored to a recovery group or database or for Exchange or SQL to be restored to a flat file. The Barracuda Backup Agent also provides support for open file backups and file attributes and permissions.
Email Message-level Backup
The message-level backup of email feature stores every email message from each user mailbox at the time of backup. If messages are accidentally deleted or corrupted they can be quickly located and restored. Individual email messages, entire folders of emails, or all of the emails for a specific user can be restored to the email server without having to restore the entire server. The restored emails can be sent directly back to their original location in the user’s mailbox or to an alternate location. You can view individual messages that were backed up on a certain date using the Barracuda Backup Service Web interface.
Message-level backup of email is not for use in a disaster recovery situation. This feature should be used in conjunction with full backups of the email system to provide both convenience and complete protection.
