Configuring Backup settings

Backup is created during installation of the Security Server. Backup settings have default values that can be modified by the administrator.

To change the Backup settings, perform the following steps:

  1. In the Management Console tree, select the node of a Microsoft Exchange server and open it.
  2. Select the Settings node.
  3. To limit the size of Backup:
    • In the workspace, in the Data storage group of settings, select the Restrict the Backup storage size check box.
    • In the Backup size may not exceed spin box, specify the maximum report file size.

      The default maximum size of Backup is 5,120 MB.

  4. To limit the duration of object storage in Backup:
    • In the workspace, in the Data storage group of settings, select the Restrict the duration of object storage in Backup check box.
    • Specify the number of days in the Store objects no longer than spin box.

      The default period for object storage in Backup is 45 days.

  5. Click the Save button.

If not a single check box is selected in the Data storage configuration section, only the total number of Backup objects is limited (not to exceed 1 million objects).

Regardless of the application configuration (standalone server or DAG), the Backup settings have to be defined separately on each physical server.
