How to: Backup Exchange 2007 store with HP Data Protector 6.0

Today I’ve installed HP Data Protector 6.0 in my virtual test environment. So we’re going to create a full Exchange Store backup using HP Data Protector.

First off all i’ve installed a Windows 2003 Server with HP Data Protector 6.0. (Note: if you’re using Exchange 2007, install patch DPWIN_307 or later)

After the installation we’re are going to deploy the HP Client to the Exchange 2007 server, for communicating with the Backup server.

The next step is configuring the device for the backup destination. In my situation it’s a backup to disk.

Now the device is created, we can go further with configuring the Exchange full Store backup.

In the next few days i’m going to configure the Exchange 2007 Single Mailbox backup.
