That's what we are planning to do - DL380 with MSA1000. One of the RAIDs on MSA1000 is dedicated for to-disk backups.

I think it's not unreasonable to back up your Exchange Server to a local disk and then copy the backup to another machine. Your window of loss would be fairly small. But there would be one, nonetheless.

What we are trying to achieve is high speed of backups and restores, so we have a very large RAID volume on the Exchange server itself just for the backups. Now if I were to use a central BackupExec server to perform these backups to disk, I wouldn't want to pull the data over the network to the BackupExec server and then push it back to the Exchange server to be written onto the dedicated backup RAID volume. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Shields, Anthony Sent: Wednesday, February 09, 2005 1:40 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: BackupExec backing up Exchange to disk You want to backup your Exchange server on the same machine? Yes Veritas can backup to disk. We have a 2TB array just for that purpose. It hangs off the central Veritas server and backs up all the servers including Exchange on to the array. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Fyodorov, Andrey FTL Sent: Wednesday, February 09, 2005 12:26 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: BackupExec backing up Exchange to disk I believe that BackupExec can now backup to disk instead of to tape. Does anyone know whether I would then need to have a full installation of BackupExec on each Exchange server to perform a "to disk" backup of information stores onto a disk that's local to the Exchange server? Or can I just have the central installation of BackupExec and the Exchange agent will be smart enough to backup data onto a disk that's local to the exchange server?
