Binding backups to policies

You can add, update, delete, or change the processing order of existing binding statements.

1. From the Microsoft Management Console (MMC), select the Exchange Server instance from the tree view.
2. On the Protect tab, click Properties in the Action pane.
3. Select VSS Policy Binding from the list of available property pages.
4. Add, update, delete, or change the processing order of existing binding statements.
   Tip: You can use a wildcard character (*) to mean "all". For example, specify a wildcard character in the Server field to bind the policy to all Exchange servers.
5. Optional: Use Move Up and Move Down to modify the processing order. Policies are processed from the end to the beginning of the file and processing stops at the first match. To ensure that more specific statements are processed before general statements, you must list the more general specification before the more specific statement. Otherwise, the more general specifications match the target before the more specific specifications are reached.
6. Save any new or changed binding statement.
7. Optional: Verify the new or changed policies and bindings as follows:
   1. Run one or more test backups.
   2. On the Recover tab, verify the management classes that are bound to your test backups.
