Dismount the Store, then backup. Not your first choice. The main reason that I can think of for choosing an offline backup, is if the online backup failed. The disadvantages are that the logs are not purged and that unlike an online backup, the database cannot be verified. Another possible scenario is that you are about to undertake risky restore. So you create a rollback position by backing up what you have already, before you try a restore. I wanted to give you a timely reminder that Exchange relies on the underling Windows Server operating system.
In a worst case scenario you will have to rebuild the operating system before you restore the Exchange. An ASR backup and recovery disk is the fastest way of building a base from which you can restore those.
In NT 4. So, if you going to make ASR diskettes, make sure you repeat the procedure every time the hardware changes in any significant way. It is usually fastest to backup to disk.

Hybrid deployment migration uses native Microsoft and Office tools. It's subject to Microsoft and Office migration service throttling. There is a key difference for the end-user experience when the migration is from Exchange Unlike later versions of Exchange, Exchange end users cannot access their mailboxes when their data is being migrated. Therefore, Exchange customers are usually more concerned about when to schedule migrations and the time required to migrate, especially when migration performance is low because of large mailbox sizes or a slow network.
Exchange migration is also very sensitive to interruptions. For example, in a real customer migration, during the migration of a 10GB mailbox, a service incident occurred when the migration of the mailbox was 50 percent complete.
The Office client access server, which was processing the data migration, had to be restarted to resolve the issue. In this case, the migration of that mailbox had to be restarted, which meant that the customer had to migrate all 10GB of data again. The migration couldn't resume from the point when it stopped.
However, Exchange , and later versions of Exchange, are able to resume migrations after interruptions. The second hop is an online move, which provides a better user experience and fault tolerance.
