Are you highlighting the deleted items folder first? -----Original Message----- From: Clark, Steve [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, September 04, 2001 6:23 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Backing up Exchange with Veritas Backup Exec 8.x Ok, I’ve looked at this and am trying to implement. But one thing has me puzzled, I have enabled the deleted item retention set for 30 days as you recommend but when I go into OutLook and try to recover an item, the option is grayed out. Is the action only avail on the server?   Steve Clark Clark Systems Support, LLC AVIEN Charter Member www.clarksupport.com           301-610-9584 voice           240-465-0323 Efax   -----Original Message----- From: Martin Blackstone [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, August 31, 2001 1:43 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Backing up Exchange with Veritas Backup Exec 8.x   Full backups Daily. Backup the IS and DS Do Not Backup Individual Mailboxes   Implement 30 day Deleted Items Retention in Exchange. You will never need to restore again.   As for OFM, People say to stay away. I have personally seen it running in 8.5 on an Exchange server daily and it worked great, though you were essentially backing up everything twice. But I believe the rule of thumb is don't use it. -----Original Message----- From: Sethi, Ali [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, August 31, 2001 9:41 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Backing up Exchange with Veritas Backup Exec 8.x Hello, For those of you that use Veritas Backup Exec to backup the Exchange server, what type of back up jobs do you run? 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.
