Software requirements for backup and restore operations
To protect Microsoft Exchange Server 2013, 2016, and 2019 data, verify that your environment is set up correctly.
- Microsoft Exchange Server requirements
- IBM Storage Protect Snapshot for Microsoft Exchange Server requires that you
have local Administrator privileges.
Membership in the Organization Management group is not required because you might not want to grant Organization Management group permissions to all Exchange Server backup and restore operators. Instead, you can define customized role-based access control (RBAC) roles and management role scope so that Exchange Server users can run only limited operations within a limited scope.
- Microsoft Exchange Server 2013 requirements
- In Exchange Server 2013 mailbox restore operations,
the MAPI clients must use the Remote Procedure Call over HTTP protocol (RPC over HTTPS, also known
as Outlook Anywhere). You cannot use the RPC over TCP because Microsoft does not use that protocol.
Use Exchange Server 2013 CU2 or later versions, and download the correct MAPI. These software requirements are documented in the Hardware and Software Requirements technote at this location: All Requirements. Follow the link to the requirements technote for your specific release or update level.
After you configure your environment, mailbox restore operations work in the same way as with previous versions of Microsoft Exchange Server.
