express

--express

The parameter is used with the backup exchange_database command. If specified, the backup will be created by using the express full backup method. Compared to regular full database backups, the express full backups are created much faster and occupy less space.

The parameter can be used only if all of the following conditions are met.

• The --backuptype parameter value is full.
• The --loc parameter value is bsp://<storage node>/<vault name> and this vault is deduplicating.
• The "Express backup and deduplication" add-on is installed on the machine with Agent for Exchange that will perform the command.

The --express and --copy_only parameters are mutually exclusive.
