Summary:

How do I setup ocBackup Manager to backup Microsoft Exchange Server 2007?

Applies to:

OS: Windows Server 2000, Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008

Backup Set Type: MS Exchange Server Backup, MS Exchange Mail Level Backup

Backup Manager version: 5.X.X.X

Description:

Backing up individual emails (mail-level)

1. Download and install the ocBackup Manager application on the Microsoft Exchange 2007 server.

2. Download and install Microsoft Exchange Server MAPI Client and Collaboration Data Objects 1.2.1

(ExchangeMAPICdo.exe)

3. Download a 32-bit Java Runtime Environment:

(v5.2.x.x) obm52-x64-i386ext.zip
(v5.5.x.x) obm55-x64-i386ext.zip

4. Expand the zip file into C:\Program Files\ocBackup Manager

5. Start the ocBackup Manager application in 32bit mode:

(v5.2) Run C:\Program Files\ocBackup Manager\bin\RunOBM32.bat
(v5.5) Run C:\Program Files\ocBackup Manager\bin\RunOBC32.bat

6. Create a new "mail level" backup set

7. Follow the instructions of the backup set wizard to complete the configuration of the new mail level backup set

8. Perform the mail-level backup immediately by selecting [Backup], or let the backup job to be performed at its scheduled time.

Notes:
Since Microsoft Exchange Messaging Application Program Interface (MAPI) is only available in 32bit, and that it is not possible to run both 32bit and 64bit modules within a single process, you need to download the 32-bit Java Runtime Environment.

Further Information:

Please note that, for the backup of the information store (server level), you need to utilize the 64bit mode of ocBackup Manager. To run ocBackup Manager in 64bit mode, please start ocBackup Manager normally..

On the other hand, for the backup of the individual emails (mail-level), you need to utilize the 32bit mode of ocBackup Manager. To run ocBackup Manager in 32bit mode, please:

Run C:\Program Files\ocBackup Manager\bin\RunOBC32.bat

For backup job that is performed by the scheduler services, the RunMailBackup.bat script that is located at C:\Program Files\ocBackup Manager\bin will automatically select the correct Java Virtual Machine to be run.
