You may have many reasons to get your config backup of Exchange Server instead of Windows backup. For example, you may want to create a test environment. So in that case, you can use this script to backup your Exchange Server 2010 environment and restore to new Exchange Server 2013.

This script is in v1.1. Backups and restores Accepted Domains, Mailboxes, User Information, Mailbox Permissions, Mail Contacts, Distribution Groups.

First backup your Exchange Server:

# Backup Accepted Domains
$AcceptedDomains = Get-AcceptedDomain | ConvertTo-Json
$AcceptedDomains | Set-Content -Path AcceptedDomains.txt
 
# Backup Mailboxes
$Mailboxes = Get-Mailbox -RecipientTypeDetails UserMailbox | ConvertTo-Json
$Mailboxes | Set-Content -Path Mailboxes.txt
 
# Backup User Information
$Users = Get-User | ConvertTo-Json
$Users | Set-Content -Path Users.txt
 
# Backup Mailbox Permissions
$MailboxPermissions = Get-Mailbox -RecipientTypeDetails UserMailbox | Get-MailboxPermission | where {$_.user.tostring() -ne "NT AUTHORITY\SELF" -and $_.IsInherited -eq $false} | Select @{Name='Name';Expression={[string]$_.Identity.Name}},@{Name='AccessRights';Expression={[string]::join(', ', $_.AccessRights)}},@{Name='User';Expression={[string]$_.User.RawIdentity}} | ConvertTo-Json
$MailboxPermissions | Set-Content -Path MailboxPermissions.txt
 
# Backup Mail Contacts
$MailContacts = Get-MailContact | ConvertTo-Json
$MailContacts | Set-Content -Path MailContacts.txt
 
# Backup Distribution Groups
$DistributionGroups = Get-DistributionGroup | Select *, @{label="Members";expression={($_ | Get-DistributionGroupMember).Name}} | ConvertTo-Json
$DistributionGroups | Set-Content -Path DistributionGroups.txt

You will see config backups under your current PowerShell path. Transfer them to new Exchange server.
You can restore all data with following script:

There are some variables that you may can change. So you can restore backups into different Exchange environment as well.

You can export txt based config backups of your Exchange Server 2010 environment with following script.

# Backup Accepted Domains
$AcceptedDomains = Get-AcceptedDomain | ConvertTo-Json
$AcceptedDomains | Set-Content -Path AcceptedDomains.txt
 
# Backup Mailboxes
$Mailboxes = Get-Mailbox | ConvertTo-Json
$Mailboxes | Set-Content -Path Mailboxes.txt
 
# Backup User Information
$Users = Get-User | ConvertTo-Json
$Users | Set-Content -Path Users.txt
 
# Backup Mailbox Permissions
$MailboxPermissions = Get-Mailbox | Get-MailboxPermission | where {$_.user.tostring() -ne "NT AUTHORITY\SELF" -and $_.IsInherited -eq $false} | Select Identity,User,@{Name='Access Rights';Expression={[string]::join(', ', $_.AccessRights)}} | ConvertTo-Json
$MailboxPermissions | Set-Content -Path MailboxPermissions.txt
 
# Backup Mail Contacts
$MailContacts = Get-MailContact | ConvertTo-Json
$MailContacts | Set-Content -Path MailContacts.txt
 
# Backup Distribution Groups
$DistributionGroups = Get-DistributionGroup | Select *, @{label="Members";expression={($_ | Get-DistributionGroupMember).Name}} | ConvertTo-Json
$DistributionGroups | Set-Content -Path DistributionGroups.txt

I’ll also publish an import script to show you how to restore this config into your system again.
