Daily Differentials and Full every Friday. DO you backup the IS and the individual mailboxes every evening or just the IS. I think we here have been backing up the individal mailboxes every day as well since we have had numerous problems with users accidentally deleting stuff and needing it restored. Also do most of you utilize the Open File option in veritas as you may have users in email while it is being backed up? I just wanted to get an idea of what type of backup strategy is used by others.
