Include Microsoft SQL Server and Microsoft Exchange Server data in retention sets

IBM Spectrum® Protect Version 8.1.12 expands your options for long-term data retention by adding support to include data from Microsoft SQL Server and Microsoft Exchange Server in retention sets.

Data from the following client types can now be included in retention sets:

  • IBM Spectrum Protect for Databases: Data Protection for Microsoft SQL Server
  • IBM Spectrum Protect for Mail: Data Protection for Microsoft Exchange Server

When you include data from these clients in retention sets, the IBM Spectrum Protect server preserves a point-in-time snapshot of the active data for long-term retention.
