Xchange Restore 2007™
Advanced Recovery for Microsoft Exchange®
Using traditional backup technologies such as backup to tape can present big challenges when trying to protect and recover mission critical applications such as Microsoft Exchange. Recovering anything requires hours of sorting through backup tapes, loading them in the correct order, copying the data and then figuring out exactly what you're looking for. Most IT organizations reject requests to recover individual messages (depending on who's asking) due to the time and skill needed.
FilesX Xchange Restore 2007 is a next generation solution to this problem. As an optional add-on to Xpress Restore(R), which provides non-disruptive block-based protection on a policy basis, or used as a stand-alone utility, Xchange Restore 2007 allows administrators and users to easily and quickly recover any Exchange object:
- E-mail message and/or attachment
- Contact list
- Calendars
- Tasks
- Journal entries
- Entire folders and EDBs
Xchange Restore 2007 includes an intuitive Windows-style GUI that allows administrators to view the contents of any Microsoft Exchange 5.5, 2000, 2003 or 2007 databases (EDBs). Xchange Restore 2007 is also capable of opening and recovering granular data objects from corrupted EDBs.
Exchange objects can be restored directly to an Exchange Server or sent via SMTP to a user-defined destination.
Xchange Restore 2007 is integrated with Active Directory and Exchange Server security to limit access to only authorized users at both the backup and restore systems.
Customer Case Study
A large organization with mission-critical global operations needed a better, more reliable and more cost efficient way to backup its data in remote offices in hundreds of locations. Not only was the old way of backing up data on tapes proving to be cumbersome, but as users have become more accustomed to having continuous access to data, outages needed to be corrected quickly. After extensive evaluation and pilot testing, the solution chosen was Xpress Restore with Xchange Restore software from FilesX.
After installing FilesX and updating their backup policies from the once-a-week full backup to tape, they measured the following improvements to their Exchange support operations:
| Description | Tape | FilesX | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|
| Backup E-Mail Server | 46 hours | 2 minutes | Increased frequency from 1/wk to 8/day |
| Recover Individual File | 25 minutes | 3.5 minutes | |
| Recover Individual E-Mail | Impossible | 15 minutes | Same for calendars, contacts, tasks, etc. |
| Restore E-Mail Volume | 35-45 hrs. | 6-10 min. |
Customers have reported using Xchange Restore 2007 to:
- Perform recoveries of deleted e-mail messages where previously they wouldn't even try
- Recover a user's Address Book after he accidentally synchronized his new system to the Exchange database in the wrong direction
- After trying to recover deleted e-mail messages from a backup created by a competitor's software, Xchange Restore was used to open the corrupted EDB and restore the needed messages
FilesX Xchange Restore 2007 is a powerful, indispensible tool that greatly improves the efficiency of Exchange administrators, and helps them raise service levels to their users by eliminating downtime and providing object restores in minutes rather than hours, days or not at all.
