We were using CA's Innoculate, which like Arcserve, did not work well. We
switched to Sybari Antigen for Exchange which does a great job. We have a
two tier setup: first level is our bridgeheads/gateways; second level is at
the Exchange server (clusters) itself. Antigen is running at both levels. We
are using two scan engines, Norman and Sophos.
Unfortunately we are still using Arcserve, but are looking for a
replacement. We are evaluating Commvault, Veritas, Legato, and BakBone. Yes
I've seen the earlier thread on Arcserve and Exchange, and couldn't agree
more on the comments. When Arcserve does run successfully on our smaller
servers (70 to 400 users), brick-level backup speeds are about a fifth of
what the full backup is.

Subject: Antivirus and Backups
We're currently running NAV for Exchange 2.13 and I must say the product
stinks.
I have Exchange 5.5 on a W2K Advanced Server box.
I'm trying to backup individual mailboxes using Backup Exec 8.5, with the
Exchange add-on.
Horrible throughput. Went to Symantec's unbelievably-unhelpful web site,
where it was suggested I use MAPI mode only instead of VAPI/MAPI mode. I
made the change to MAPI.
I have now received an email which contains a virus. Looks as though MAPI
doesn't work too well.
Also, the backups have done better, but are still extremely slow.
My question is - what is everyone else out there using for antivirus and/or
backup? I know there are some other vendors out there...I'm looking for a
good solution that includes auto-updates, allows me to use Backup Exec for
individual mailboxes (at a decent speed), and actually WORKS!
Any recommendations or advice would be appreciated.
