Mail Level or Brick Level Restore
Overview
Brick Level (mail level) Backup for Microsoft Exchange Server is not designed to fully protect an Exchange server, but to facilitate easy backup and fast restore of individual emails, contacts, calendars, tasks etc. The brick level restore cannot fully recover the Information Store after a disaster. If used, a brick level backup must be utilized in conjunction with full Information Store Backup, in order to fully protect the exchange server.
