If you have a small number of Exchange mailboxes, you could also consider doing a nightly exmerge of the mailboxes out to PST files.
I do this for one customer. Exmerge about 20 mailboxes, zip up (with a password), and copy to one user's workstation which stays running 24x7. I keep 7 days worth on that workstation (pst.zip, pst1.zip, pst2.zip, etc) -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Paul Hutchings Sent: Thursday, July 15, 2004 8:33 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: exchange backup The thing with Arcserve backup is you don't read many posts from people asking how to do the backup, it's usually when they need to do the restore that it gets nasty.. it doesn't seem a "nice" product from what I've heard/read. I use Windows 2000 ntbackup, online dump to a flatfile, then dump that file to tape, works a charm IMHO plus in theory it's quick if a restore is needed as you could probably restore from disk. regards, Paul -- Paul Hutchings Network Administrator, MIRA Ltd.
