The Data Manager Appliance can manage and monitor data protection and replication for Microsoft Exchange Server assets through integration with the Microsoft application agent. The Microsoft application agent enables an application administrator to protect and recover Exchange application data on the application host. The Data Manager Appliance integrates with the Microsoft application agent to check and monitor backup compliance against protection policies. The Data Manager Appliance also enables centralized scheduling for backups.
The Data Manager Appliance supports protecting both stand-alone Microsoft Exchange Server and Microsoft Exchange Server database availability group (DAG) environments. The Microsoft application agent uses block-based backup technology to back up Exchange Server databases in stand-alone and database availability group DAG environments.
