We have an environment mainly that is mainly linuxbased and try to keep number of windows servers down to a minimum. However we see that Office365 backups require that the webserver is windows based due to different reasons and requires an outlook installed to do PST restores.

We are planning to try to implement HA on the commandcenter/webserver side and have a few questions in that regard.

Planning for 1 commandcenter to point to 1 webserver as pr documentation.

Must these webservers also be windows based to be able to support restores and configurations of M365 clients. or is it enough that there is one windowsbased webserver available?

Must all webservers have outlook installed to do export to PST or can commvault somehow route the PST generation to specific webservers and the file be made available for the correct webserver?

The simple design would be to keep the webservers windowsbased with outlook installed, but would prefer to move more to linuxbased workloads if possible.

 

 

Hi John

for backup and restore O365, in your case Exchange Online, you need AN and Index server based on windows machine, you can try to use on a single machine but depend of your environment workload use guide line to sizing the servers, if you need to implement HA you must have at minimum two AN-Indexserver.

You need Outlook only to export mailbox items, folders or messages

The Web Server should be the Command Center how you are using to make restore operation.

 

I think you must have at minimum 4 windows machines.

 

I hope that can help you.

Yes, this was what I expected. Just hoped there was something I had missed.
