Maybe he meant have the SQL admins who know their <DonElyWord> Teach you how to do exchange backups.

How do I keep myself from the Exchange backup? What do you do if/when SQL becomes the database engine for Exchange?

They swore up and down to me that they could do it without the Agent for NetBackup. I called their bluff and scheduled disaster recovery testing and spent several days watching them scratch their heads. One backup using the agent and a quick restore was what it finally took to show the SQL gurus how painless it is when you use the right tools. Keep your SQL admins the heck away from your Exchange backups!

Open file manager may be fine for SQL databases, MDB files, but Exchnage is more than just a pair of EDB files. There are a lot of actions that are controled by/performed by the Exchange agent that an open file manager/open file agent has no fricking idea about. If you are going to use a backup service other than what comes with Exchange, use a product that supports Exchange. Unless you really like explaining why your 10grand system can't restore the CFO's budget from last week.

I was just discussing this with a fellow engineer and wanted to find out the reason why the Brick Level Backups are bad. What the issues with this type of Backup? If Brick level Backups are bad then why purchase an Exchange Agent for whatever backup app thats being used when you could just use a Open File Agent which should backup the Store & Directory files. Any info would be appreciated.
