RE: Exchange 5.5 SP4 Issues

[MHR(Michael Ross)]

Title: Message

not really. It has helped us quite a bit. Even being on the phone with MS, we were told to do BLB's AND the Store... its kind of a double check. If we need to restore to a recovery server, we can restore an individual mailbox, export the data needed to a pst, and import that into the user's mailbox.. seemless to the user, and no impact on the server. -----Original Message----- From: Snook, Kevin S (ITD) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, March 26, 2002 8:47 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Exchange 5.5 SP4 Issues I guess that comes under the heading of "a complete waste of time" -----Original Message----- From: MHR(Michael Ross) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 26 March 2002 13:59 To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Exchange 5.5 SP4 Issues i do a BLB AND a backup of the store itself.   -----Original Message----- From: Snook, Kevin S (ITD) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, March 26, 2002 8:35 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Exchange 5.5 SP4 Issues And that's what you do, is it? BLBs are not a good idea for 5.5. -----Original Message----- From: MHR(Michael Ross) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 26 March 2002 13:48 To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Exchange 5.5 SP4 Issues If you do Brick-level backups, you dont need to restore the whole IS. -----Original Message----- From: Snook, Kevin S (ITD) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, March 26, 2002 8:27 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Exchange 5.5 SP4 Issues Because of the limitation of 5.5 whereby all mailboxes are held in one store, if you ever have to restore a mailbox (or even the whole machine!) you will have to restore the whole IS. Therefore, taking your restore hardware into consideration, you need to decide how fast you can restore the entire IS. For instance, if your hardware restores tapes at 4GB per hour, then an 18 GB store will take 4.5 hours. This might not be such an issue when it's only one mailbox, but you'll have users banging your door down when their whole server has gone down.   Kevin -----Original Message----- From: David Elebute [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 26 March 2002 13:35 To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Exchange 5.5 SP4 Issues Is there a limit to the size of the Information Store on any one Exchange 5.5 Server? Mine is currently at 18GB, I believe I read somewhere that there is a limit to the size of the Store when things like backups and maintenance on the server start to become issues.   David Elebute Director of MIS SuperClubs (MCP,CCNA) U.S. Office 954.925.0925 Ext. 5631 or 800.467.8737 JA - 800.417.5288 Ext. 5631 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED] U.S. Pager: 954.831.0677 and [EMAIL PROTECTED] U.S. Cellular Phone: 954.803.5790 JA Cellular Phone: 876.995.6476 BR Cellular Phone: 5571-91223890 Fax: 954.921.7105 ******************************************** This email is confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual to whom it is addressed.
