NTBackup is a fine way to do your online backups.  Provided that, at least XAdmin is installed on the backup box.  It does not do BLB's, but if you read the Ed C. Never Restore Method, you won't have to restore individual mailboxes.

OK I'm doing this correctly this time.

Does anyone use the native "NTBACKUP" utility on their EX 5.5 installations to backup their Exchange IS's online? Recently Microsoft recommended we use the native NTBACKUP utility to do the page layer online backups. Just looking for input from anyone on this list currently doing this, rather than going to a 3rd party application for backups.

Also, do any of you know if individual mailboxes can be restored when using NTBACKUP as the backup solution? I'm not sure on this aspect, but I would suspect not, I don't think NTBACKUP does brick layer backups.

Thanks for any input you have,

Heidi
