Remember who the ArcServeIT folks are who told you this, because you will need to blame it on them when you are unable to restore your server after a failure.
You need to do a database backup using the Exchange agent. Aside from taking the server offline, that is the ONLY way to get a recoverable backup. -----Original Message----- From: Nick Symiakakis [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Posted At: Wednesday, March 13, 2002 12:02 PM Posted To: Exchange Sunbelt Conversation: What is the best methode of backing up Mailboxes? Subject: What is the best methode of backing up Mailboxes? Hi Everyone, I heard it through the grapevine, that I am not backing up my Exchange Server the best possible way, and I was hoping that some of you can give me some advice. I am currently backing up the Exchange Server / individual mailboxes / Brick Level. The reason I am doing so was on suggestion by the ArcServeIT people. They said that ArcServeIT software worked best when you only do a brick level backup. But then a colleague said that Exchange doesn't Flush out certain files, unless it is backed up correctly. can someone please explain this to me, and possibly tell me the better way of backing up Exchange. Thank you all in advance for all of your help.
