Backup Copy Jobs and Exchange 2010 log truncation

[Dave-Departed]

Hi All,

Just wondering if there is anything to consider when running a local backup and then a remote Backup Copy Job of Exchange 2010 DAG servers, with regards to log truncation?

Should we keep the normal, existing local Exchange backup jobs as is, and let them continue to truncate the logfiles, and just run the BCJ after the local backup has finished? What effect, if any, would this have, if we had to restore an Exchange server from a BCJ restore point?

Are there any other considerations to take into account?

Thanks

Dave

Hi Dave,

Backup Copy Job do not touch the VM again. It only "replicates" the VM restore Point from the backup file to a second Location. (identical restore points)

So you only need to take care that the first "classical" Veeam backup job truncate the logs.
