DIAL-TONE RECOVERY OF EXCHANGE 2007 SERVER IN VMWARE ESX 3.5 ENVIRONMENT USING DATAPROTECTOR 6.1
In this article, i will talk about a dial-tone recovery of Exchange 2007 server in an VMware ESX 3.5 environment using HP Data Protector 6.1 product. I will briefly explain the environment and problem, then will talk about the recovery process.
It is not that easy as it is thought to introduce a stable and first of all a tidy strategy to constitute a backup solution that can be easily managed and monitored for our both individual applications as well as the high scale corporate infrastructures. That’s why we still see joyless system administrators running from one server to another with USB hard disks in their hands waiting for the mass data transfers to be completed even in professional data centers and environments. I’m immensely aware that for most of the companies, the time and the energy sacrificed for this burdensome operation is preferred as a cost that have to be tolerated rather than to invest on expensive commercial backup and recovery solutions. On the other hand, when the value and the importance of the data that must be backed up are all taken into consideration, the risks are obvious that the legacy backup models which are performed manually in only specific periods entertain.
You can edit the script below in accordance with the needs in your infrastructure for having any of the databases nested in your MySQL server to be backuped and copied to a preferred location. You may define this script inside the crontab and install it to make these backup operations performed periodically. If you’re in a search of a central backup solution to store, manage and have these backups reported regularly in same or in a different server at remote locations, I recommend you to read the article about my project named Automatic Backup And Synchronization Solution with Rsync On FreeBSD.
