Data that Should Be Backed Up on Client Access Servers
Data Backup MethodOutlook Web Access Web site and Web.config File-level backup
IMAP4 and POP3 protocol settings File-level backup
Availability service File-level backup
Autodiscover System state backup, metabase export of Web sites
Outlook Web Access virtual directories File-level backup
Web services configuration System state backup, metabase export of Web sites
Server certificates used for SSL Certificate export using the Certificate Manager MMC
Data Stored on a Hub Transport Server
Data Source Description
Queue database on the Hub Transport server
Stores messages while the messages are being processed by agents, or while the messages are waiting to be delivered to their destination
Message tracking and protocol log files
Store information about messages that have passed through the server or protocol-level connections on the server
Data Stored on a Unified Messaging Server
Unified Messaging server key points:Unified Messaging server key points:
The Unified Messaging server stores voice messages or other messages in queues while waiting to send the messages to a Hub Transport server
The Unified Messaging server stores the custom audio files that are used for prompts by Unified Messaging dial plans and Unified Messaging auto attendant
With multiple Unified Messaging servers, the custom audio files are automatically replicated to all Unified Messaging servers by the File Replication Service
To restore the custom audio files, you must back up the data stored in the prompt publishing point location
The Unified Messaging server stores voice messages or other messages in queues while waiting to send the messages to a Hub Transport server
The Unified Messaging server stores the custom audio files that are used for prompts by Unified Messaging dial plans and Unified Messaging auto attendant
With multiple Unified Messaging servers, the custom audio files are automatically replicated to all Unified Messaging servers by the File Replication Service
To restore the custom audio files, you must back up the data stored in the prompt publishing point location
Data Stored on an Edge Transport Server
Data Backup methodActive Directory Application Mode Clone Config (ExportEdgeConfig.ps1)
Content Filtering ESE database Clone Config (ExportEdgeConfig.ps1)
Message queues None
Message tracking and protocol logs File-level backup
Lesson 2: Recovering Non-Mailbox Servers
Process for Recovering Non-Mailbox Servers
Server Recovery Requirements for Server Roles
Process for Recovering Edge Transport Servers
Process for Recovering Non-Mailbox Servers
To recover a server running Exchange Server 2007:To recover a server running Exchange Server 2007:
Install Windows Server 2003 and install any Windows Server 2003 service packs and software updates
If restoring the server, restore the System State data from a backup set of the failed server
If rebuilding the server, reset the computer account and join the computer to the domain
Run Exchange Server 2007 Setup in Recover Server mode
Test the server role functionality, and then restore the server role-specific data
Install Windows Server 2003 and install any Windows Server 2003 service packs and software updates
If restoring the server, restore the System State data from a backup set of the failed server

Unified Messaging server data Restore method
Messages in the \UnifiedMessaging\temp folder
Can be recovered from the failed server, and then copied to the Pickup directory on a Hub Transport server
Custom audio files in the UnifiedMessaging\Prompts\Custom folder
Can be restored from backup to the restored server in a single Unified Messaging server scenario
Hub Transport server data Restore method
Messaging queues Queues must be recovered from the failed server and then mounted on the restored server or another Hub Transport server
Message tracking logs and protocol logs
Logs can be restored from backup or recovered from the failed server to any other computer
Client Access server data Restore method
Protocol-specific Web.config files File system restore
Availability service Configure the Availability service using the Exchange Management Shell or file-level restore
Autodiscover IIS metabase restore or System State restore
Outlook Web Access virtual directories
Reconfigure virtual directories using the Exchange Management Shell or file-level restore
Web services configuration IIS metabase restore or System State restore
Server certificate used for SSL
Restore from exported certificate using the Certificates Manager MMC snap-in
Server Recovery Requirements for Server Roles
Process for Recovering Edge Transport Servers
To recover an Edge Transport server:To recover an Edge Transport server:
On a computer running Windows Server 2003, perform a clean installation of the Edge Transport server role
Copy the backed up .XML file to the new server and validate the backed up configuration file on the new Edge Transport server
Modify the answer file
Import the configuration file using the ImportEdgeConfig.ps1 script
Configure edge synchronization, if necessary
On a computer running Windows Server 2003, perform a clean installation of the Edge Transport server role
Copy the backed up .XML file to the new server and validate the backed up configuration file on the new Edge Transport server
Modify the answer file
Import the configuration file using the ImportEdgeConfig.ps1 script
Configure edge synchronization, if necessary
