Windows Server 2019 Core

Exchange 2019 is supported on Windows Server 2019 Server Core. We need support for backup/restore on this platform

Microsoft is pushing Windows Server 2019 Server Core as the OS of choice for Exchange 2019.

On https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/exchange/2018/10/22/exchange-server-2019-now-available/ you can read:

"Security: Exchange Server 2019 requires Windows Server 2019. In fact, we recommend installing Exchange Server 2019 onto Windows Server 2019 Server Core. Exchange Server 2019 installed on Windows Server 2019 Core provides the most secure platform for Exchange. You also have the option of installing Exchange 2019 onto Windows Server 2019 with Desktop Experience, but we have worked hard to make sure running Exchange on Server Core is the best choice for our code."
