I don't know if this makes a difference or not, but the setup I use is this:
ARCserve machine installed using MSSQL database I backup everything to a SCSI Array (I keep 5 days backup on the array of all servers) Every night I dump everything to tape (LTO 100/200) So I have never had to restore anything from tape. And I also do a full backup of the backup server to tape. So the worst case is I will have to restore the backup server then restore all my other servers once the backup server is up or restore each server individually. You might laugh at this method, but it works.

It's not that we don't like it because it doesn't backup; it has a serious problem with restoring... -----Original Message----- From: Henry, Christopher M.

I have been using ARCserve v. 9.01 to do brick level backups and I have never have a problem with it. The largest mailbox that I do a brick level backup on is 729megs and most of the mailboxes are over 100megs. I have never had a failed job and I have done successful restores. I would have to say the ARCserve 9.01 is a solid product it is a 200% improvement over ARCserve 7. The only bad thing I can say is that it is a little on the expensive side, but I use it to backup 6 servers and 3 databases.
