Let’s say you have a small business and maintain about 30 to 100 emails on your domain. It’s a safe guess that you are probably running a small Microsoft Exchange server. Whether it’s the 2007, 2010 or 2013 version, you need to keep your emails for some period of time for your company's records.
How are you backing that server up and meeting your retention needs?
Not All Email Backups are Created Equal
Don’t a lot of hosting providers offer backups? On the surface, the answer is, “Yes.” But consider carefully:
- Can your current provider restore your individual Exchange email mailboxes?
- Can your current provider restore an individual database from Exchange and mount that directly to your production Exchange server?
- Can your current provider restore individual emails and then send them out if they were accidentally deleted?
