Good Day,

I recently found out some of our mailboxes in Exchange 2013 were not being backed up.  I inherited this setup from a previous tech, and I found out that we are using AD Group discovery and that some accounts weren’t being added to the group.

I see that there is also an option to configure Database discovery.  What’s the best way to switch to this?  My plan is to create a new association and add in all our databases and run a backup.  Can I then delete the AD group discovery?  Is there an issue having both - I don’t want to duplicate any data being backed up since we have disk space issues.

Also, will using Database discovery back up the public folders or do I need to set up something else?  I noticed our public folders are not currently being backed up.

Thanks for any assistance.

Nick
