Computer Backup: Files to Backup tab (for automatic Exchange backup)

This topic applies to computers running LiveVault Online Backup and Recovery Service Agent version 4.0 or later when defining an automatic Microsoft Exchange backup configuration. For all other cases, see Computer Backup: Files to Backup tab.

Purpose

Use this Files to Backup tab on the Backup form to review the Microsoft Exchange files and directories that will be backed up from this computer by the automatic Exchange backup configuration you are currently defining.

For an automatic Exchange backup configuration, LiveVault Online Backup and Recovery Service determines the correct set of Exchange files and directories to back up to ensure the application data is accurately protected. LiveVault Online Backup and Recovery Service also automatically maintains the file selections, updating them appropriately as your Exchange application configuration changes on your computer (for example, if you add a new information storage group). You cannot edit the file selections for an automatic Exchange backup configuration.
