Deleting a Microsoft Exchange Backup Configuration


This procedure applies to LiveVault Online Backup Service Agent version 4.0 or later. If you are running an earlier Agent version, see Deleting a Microsoft Exchange Backup Configuration (for version 3.6 or earlier).


You can delete a Microsoft Exchange backup configuration for a computer (for example, if you are no longer running Exchange on this computer). When you delete the configuration:

  • The Exchange backup configuration is removed from MyLiveVault.

    If you are deleting an automatic full Exchange server backup configuration, the Files and Directories backup configuration is retained, but it is no longer automatically maintained by LiveVault Online Backup Service.

  • Some historical versions of the files and directories previously backed up by that configuration are available for restore for some period of time. However, not all historical versions remain available for the entire retention period per the terms of the service.

  • Unless you specifically excluded these files and directories from the computer's Files and Directories backup configuration, these files will now be backed up by that configuration. However, the Files and Directories configuration does not treat files as a group, so we will not guarantee the integrity of the Exchange application.

To delete the Exchange backup configuration

  1. On the MyLiveVault Home page, the All Computers form lists all the computers on your company account. Click Backup/Restore in the Action column for the computer whose database backup configuration you want to delete.

  2. On the Computer Information form, click the Backup tab.

  3. In the Backup Configuration section, click Edit.

  4. On the Microsoft Exchange Backup form on the Change Configuration page, select the No Exchange Backup option.

  5. When prompted to confirm the deletion request, click OK.

  6. At the bottom of the Change Configuration page (not in a form), click Done.
