This backup typically includes Exchange database files (EDB), log files, and system state data necessary for restoring the server or mailboxes in case of failure.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1752322136616\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>Q: Is it possible to restore individual mailboxes or specific items from a Windows Backup of Exchange?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\"><strong>Ans:<\/strong> By default, Windows Server Backup does not support granular recovery of individual mailboxes or specific items from an Exchange backup. It creates a full volume-level backup, which means you can only restore the entire Exchange database (EDB) file.
