Office365 - Exchange Online

Question

Good evening folksWe currently use Commvault to backup our Exchange Online (EXO) environment and I have recently been reviewing Commvault DR options and have become a bit stuck for EXO.The components involved for EXO backups I believe are …-Access Node-Index Server-Web Server The access node and index server I understand why their needed but I am at a bit of a loss as what role the web server plays. If I change the web server under properties of the access node to another web server the restores fail so clearly the websites play a crucial role. I have read the CV documentation but am still no further forward - I can see that there is some sort of search svc installed.Any clarify that can be provided would be much appreciated.

hello @KevinDoddgood day ,The web server hosts the CommCell admin/web console, playing a crucial role in enabling users to manage backups, perform restores, and monitor job statuses.Additionally, it facilitates communication between access nodes, index servers, and other components, acting as a mediator to coordinate requests and responses.The web server also includes a search service that supports index searching for restores, which is essential for quickly locating items during a restore operation.I hope this helps! If you have any specific questions or scenarios you'd like to discuss, feel free to ask!Best Regards,Mohamed RamadanData Protection Specialist
