Hi Team,

Just want check the configuration of Mailbox Backup.

 

We have two media agent servers and the exchange version is 2016. 

Please advise the configuration of Mailbox backup jobs.

  • Is it Outlook on those media agent servers and will use access nodes.
  • And any disk limitation for Indexing (each media agent). - approx. 300 Mailboxes.
  • Any license is needed for this backup from Commcell level (no archiving).
  • Where will create the sub clients for mailbox jobs (either Exchange or media agents).

Hi @Anandha K 

i would request you to review the details from below article , configuration applies to onpremise Exchange server for user mailbox protection
https://documentation.commvault.com/v11/essential/93393_exchange_mailbox_user_mailbox_on_premises_environment_01.html

by default 2016 Exchange version uses MAPI so outlook is required on accessnode, but you can enable EWS for exchange 2016 as per below article providing additional permission for service account so that you can overcome outlook prerequisites for archive

The Exchange Mailbox Agent requires the Mailbox Archive Solution license.
