How to Perform Brick Level Restores on Exchange 2000 and Exchange 2003 Systems More information: Configure the Agent for Document Level Backup and Restore (see page 22) Create or Verify a Brick Level Account (see page 26) Backup Agent Service Account Requirements for Brick Level Restore To perform a brick level restore job, your backup agent service account must meet the following criteria on the Exchange Server. ■ The account must be that of a domain user with a mailbox on the local Exchange server, and the mailbox name must be unique. A unique name is a name that does not exist in the organization as a subset of characters in another mailbox name. For example, you cannot use the name Admin, if there is a mailbox named Administrator in your organization. ■ You must add the account to the Domain Administrators group on your domain controllers and to the Administrators group and Backup Operators group on your Exchange Server. Note: If your Exchange Server is your domain controller, you must add all three groups to your backup agent service account only on your domain controller. ■ You must assign the account the rights that follow: - Act as part of the operating system - Log on locally - Log on as service ■ You must assign assign roles at the Organization, Site, and Configuration levels of the organization tree to the account. ■ You must assign the account the Owner permission level on every public folder that you intend to back up and restore because permissions for public folders can vary. If a lower permission level is assigned, back up or restore may fail or duplicate items may be restored because the backup agent service account does not have the permission to delete original documents. The Exchange Brick Level Agent Configuration Utility is the most efficient tool for creating your backup agent service account and ensuring that it is set up correctly. However, if because of the setup of your environment it is better for you to manually create a backup agent service account, see How to Set Up Your Backup Agent Service Account (see page 131) for instructions on how to do so. 104 Agent for Microsoft Exchange Guide

Backup Agent Service Account Requirements for Brick Level Restore
To perform a brick level restore job, your backup agent service account must
meet the following criteria on the Exchange Server.
The account must be that of a domain user with a mailbox on the local
Exchange server, and the mailbox name must be unique. A unique name is
a name that does not exist in the organization as a subset of characters in
another mailbox name. For example, you cannot use the name Admin, if
there is a mailbox named Administrator in your organization.
You must add the account to the Domain Administrators group on your
domain controllers and to the Administrators group and Backup Operators
group on your Exchange Server.
Note:
If your Exchange Server is your domain controller, you must add all
three groups to your backup agent service account only on your domain
controller.
You must assign the account the rights that follow:
Act as part of the operating system
Log on locally
Log on as service
You must assign assign roles at the Organization, Site, and Configuration
levels of the organization tree to the account.
You must assign the account the Owner
permission level on every public
folder that you intend to back up and restore because permissions for
public folders can vary. If a lower permission level is assigned, back up or
restore may fail or duplicate items may be restored because the backup
agent service account does not have the permission to delete original
documents.
The Exchange Brick Level Agent Configuration Utility is the most efficient tool
for creating your backup agent service account and ensuring that it is set up
correctly. However, if because of the setup of your environment it is better for
you to manually create a backup agent service account, see
How to Set Up
Your Backup Agent Service Account
(see page 131) for instructions on how to
do so.
