We had a problem with restore back in April. The release of the product we had did not back up the logs properly. It would back up the logs first and then the rest of the datastores and by the time the backups were done new logs were written out but did not get backed up. Therefore we could not restore the server when it crashed. They have since fixed the problem and we are now using it for our backup solution just make sure you have these patches on.

The great | advantage is | that you have centralized backup. We were however having a | problem with an | earlier client. It would restore the database, and it would | stay up long | enough to pull off a mailbox or two, then become | unresponsive. We had to | update to the new version of TDP for Exchange to get it to work. I was | disappointed with the response we got from Tivoli on the | issue. Just make | sure to do some rigorous restore testing prior to implementing in | production. | | | Michael Semiglia | | | | -----Original Message----- | From: Hansen, Eric [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] | Sent: Monday, October 22, 2001 5:37 PM | To: Exchange Discussions | Subject: RE: Tivoli | | | I'm just going off what the TSM engineer and sales person told me. | | -----Original Message----- | From: Ramesh Viswanathan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] | Sent: Monday, October 22, 2001 3:25 PM | To: Exchange Discussions | Subject: RE: Tivoli | | | I hope we are taking about Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) | product. We have | been using TSM's Data Protection for Microsoft Exchange | product for backing | up our Exchange Server for quite sometime now. This is NOT a | third party | product and is under active development by Tivoli. | | I would recommend that you search the TSM mailing list archives at: | http://www.adsm.org to get a better feedback on this product. | | We have not had any problems with it and it integrates well | with the rest of | the TSM product.

That | really bugged me for some reason, why would I buy a backup | solution for | Exchange when the Exchange portion wasn't even written by | that company. We | also looked at CommVault and Net Backup, we went with CommVault. | | But you never know, it may be a great product. I don't think they had | message level granulation either, but I could be wrong. | | e | | -----Original Message----- | From: Osborn, Joel [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] | Sent: Monday, October 22, 2001 12:03 PM | To: Exchange Discussions | Subject: Tivoli | | Our shop is about to start implementing Tivoli for backing up our file | servers and we (the Exchange group) have been asked if we | want to go along, | as well. We are currently on Argserve 6.5 SP2, so it seems | like a good plan. | | They/we did look at Veritas, but it was too pricey.
