It offers advanced configuration options, performs folder level backups and message level restores, and supports advanced filtering during backup. It also maximizes performance and flexibility by supporting complete messaging single instance storage (SIS), multi-threading, and by offering the most granular level of restore. You should use document level backup and restore when you want the flexibility to restore individual objects, such as a mailbox, folder, or a single message. Document level backup and restore can also be used to simplify many administrative tasks, such as auditing, migration, pruning, and aging. With document level backup and restore, you can back up many messaging objects including posts, tasks, notes, journal entries, mail messages, events, appointments, meeting requests, and contacts. In addition to document level backups, you should perform database level backups. 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.
