Our old exchange box is running NT4 and exchange 5.5 with veritas backup exec 7.3 (and the exchange addon). I have just set up a new server with win2k server and exchange 5.5 and I am considering just using ntbackup for D/R (disaster recovery). I understand the adavantages of the Veritas backup database for file backup and recovery, but in the case of recovering an exchange server I'm not sure what extra I am getting from veritas. One thing that ntbackup will do that I have not been able to do with Veritas is backup to a file. With Ntbackup, I can do a full backup to another hard drive and then another second complete backup to a tape every night. I can still have the tapes offsite etc, but now also have a much faster restore off of another hard drive.
