Video: High Availability in Exchange Server 2010 - Part 3

In Part 1 of my video blogcast series on High Availability in Exchange Server 2010, I introduced you to the concept of database mobility, and the features known as database availability groups (DAGs) and mailbox database copies.

In Part 2, I showed you how to create a DAG and how to add Mailbox servers to a DAG.

In Part 3, I show you how to add a mailbox database copy, and I demonstrate Get-MailboxDatabaseCopyStatus and Test-ReplicationHealth.

Please download the video and watch it full-screen.  Part 3 is just under 3 minutes. Click on the video thumbnail below to go to the video. There is a Download link where you can download the video (use Right-click, Save Target As...).

Part 3:

Enjoy...and stay tuned for Part 4, coming soon!

Thanks Scott!  Looking forward to the next one.  Can you tell us if backups can be performed from any member of the DAG?  This was a frustrating limitation with SCR.

Thanks!

Hi Pesos,

Yes, you will be able to back up any copy of the database you like (passive or active).
