Creating an Exchange Replication Job

Peer DRS provides a wizard to guide you through the process of editing or creating a new MS Exchange Server Replication Job.  See MS Exchange Server Backup & Restore Process for a detailed explanation of how the entire end-to-end replication process works.

Peer DRS Exchange replication jobs are configured on a per Exchange storage group basis rather than on a per Exchange database basis.  Each configured Exchange data source will point to an Exchange Server and a storage group being hosted on that Exchange server.  All databases in a storage group will be backed up as part of a single replication job.  Whenever possible, it is a recommended best practice to have no more than one database per storage group.   See Exchange Replication Best Practices for more details.

We recommend you first take a look at the Sample Configurations section for examples of how to configure a replication job.
