SnapManager for Exchange as guest in Hyper-V over SMB cluster

[aleksandar_stefanov]

We want to deploy Exchange 2013 as virtual machine under Hyper-V over SMB cluster. According Microsoft, that is supported configuration by them.

In such deployment, can we use SnapManager for Exchange?

I have checked with the supportablilty department and found that the only supported configuration for exchange on VHDX is to run the Exchange VM inside the virtual disk and use application consistent backups from Snapmanager for Hyper-V with the hyper-visor having it’s datastore on SMB3 share.

hello, so with the application consistent backup, how do you perform single mailbox restores?
