You can purchase something like Power Controls which allows you to restore data directly from your backup tapes. You can restore individual mailboxes with it.

This isn't for exchange backups, but I still feel a bit sick about the idea of arcserve being installed on any of our servers. We're told that the latest version is stable, but I'm skeptical. -----Original Message----- From: Ben Winzenz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 16 September 2003 15:46 To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Brick Level Backup You won't find many recommendations to perform brick-level backups here. At least not from competent Exchange Admins. Do a full online backup, implement deleted items retention and deleted mailbox retention and go eat some cookies. As for your comment about Arkanserve crashing, well I'll be! I NEVER had a problem with it when I used it (grin). Truthfully, Argghhhhserver is the biggest piece of crap software that I have ever come across. It doesn't surprise me that brick-backups/restores fail using it. I couldn't even get a good restore from an ONLINE backup using it.

I have gave up on Arcserve as it crashes to many times on critical restores. Any advice welcome.
