In Exchange Server, the major risk is EDB file corruption because once your file gets corrupted, it makes your data inaccessible. There are multiple reasons behind EDB corruption, such as system failure, hard failure, and software failure, but if the threat is external, then it can be worse, and appropriate action needs to be taken soon.
Organizations often execute precautionary practices to protect data, like migration, import/export, and backup of their EDB file. But performing these practices manually is quite a hectic, time-consuming & reckless approach.
