Legacy Exchange and the Samba share

The Exchange agent places all backup files and configuration information on the Samba share located on the backup system. Therefore, it is necessary for the Samba share to exist, and contain the appropriate permissions to ensure proper functionality. If the Samba share does not exist on the server, perform the following steps to create it:

1        From the Console or through a VNC session, launch a shell prompt on the  backup system (Admin > Configuration > Terminal).

2        Type: dpu update

3        Type: dpu samba

A subdirectory is created in the Samba share with the name of the Exchange server by default, or the name you entered on the configuration page. The client folder is the location where all Exchange agent backups, profiles, and log files are stored. The backup directory naming scheme for store-level backup and restore operations is:
