The need for an Exchange disaster recovery plan
Exchange server is the lifeline of many organizations relying on email exchange and communication. It stores databases, user mailboxes, files, attachments and critical data required for the proper functioning of the server. As a result, having a disaster recovery plan in place to protect the Exchange server from threats and corruptions should be the responsibility of any IT administrator, and more broadly any organization.
Some of the common issues of an Exchange server crash are as follows:
- Hardware failure and software problems
- Sudden shutdown of Exchange server
- Abrupt Power failure and system crash
- Virus infection and ransomware threat
- Insufficient hard disk space on the computer
- Exchange database corruption and missing log files
