Document Level Backup and Restore Questions Question: If I perform a document level backup, do I need to perform a database level backup? Answer: Yes. Database level backup is the fundamental backup for your Exchange Server, and you should always use it regardless of whether you use one of the other granular backup types. You can use database level backups to restore Exchange Server in the event of a system failure, database corruption, or disaster recovery situation. Document Level Backup and Restore Questions The following questions relate to document level backup and restore. Question: When I restore a document to the same location using the Overwrite conflict resolution option, why do I sometimes see duplicated messages? Answer: When a message is restored, a new message ID is created and assigned to it. Consequently, if you restore from one backup multiple times, you will see duplicated messages. Question: Can I perform a Database Level backup at the same time as a Document Level backup? Answer: Yes, you can perform a Database Level and Document Level backup at the same time. You can also perform multiple Document Level backups at the same time, and you can perform multiple Database Level backups at the same time by running up to one job for each storage group. 148 Agent for Microsoft Exchange Guide
