Typical Microsoft Exchange environments are growing larger and increasingly
are managing data and applications critical to a business. This makes
backup and restore a greater challenge. Microsoft Volume Shadow Copy
Service (VSS) is a way to use the instant copy capabilities of disk storage
hardware for faster backup, thereby reducing the time taken for backup as
well as reducing the impact which the backup operation has on the Exchange
server.
IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for Copy Services, together with Data Protection
for Mail, leverages VSS functionality in an integrated, easy-to-use way, to
back up and restore Exchange databases. It supports a wide variety of disk
hardware and uses the same interface as traditional Data Protection for
Mail operations.
This IBM Redbook will help you plan, configure and run IBM Tivoli Storage
Manager for Copy Services in your Microsoft Exchange environments.
