eSilo also offers a separate application for performing brick-level backups of a Microsoft Exchange Server. It can backup Exchange 5.5, 2000, 2003, 2007, and 2010 Servers. Before using the eSilo Exchange backup application, you must first install the eSilo Backup Server Edition, which will allow you to activate your account. After activation, you will need to “Export Encryption Key” from the eSilo Backup Server Edition’s “File” menu and provide this Encryption Key to the Exchange backup application.

After downloading the ‘esilolinux.install’ script, make sure its executable:
chmod u x esilolinux.install
And then execute it with the following:
./esilolinux.install
This will download the appropriate version of eSilo Backup for your system’s architecture and install it to /usr/local/esilo. Please read the README.TXT file located in /usr/local/esilo after running the install script for additional details on how to use the Linux Edition.

You can use our storage calculator without an account. This will allow you to select the files and folders you would like to backup and calculate their storage size. This illustrates the amount of data you would be charged for after being compressed with eSilo’s Ulta Zip technology. To use the storage calculator, download and install the “Standard” or “Server” Edition. After installation, run the application and choose the option for Storage Calculator.
