Hmmm, well how do you recover a mailbox?

        Just backing up the IS, and not the mailboxes as well.

        So how are you doing your backups now?

                I was doing brick level backups for quite a while. Never had
a
        problem with
                them, Never really had to use them, but I had the tape
space, so
        figured
                what the hell?

                Well about two weeks ago after doing them for three years
with out a
        hitch,
                suddenly they stopped working. Couldn't back up a one of
them.  

                Just for grins, I tried to restore a mailbox from a recently
fired
        employee,
                and guess what it didn't work. I have done this on a
regualar basis
        as part
                of my DR planning, and never had a problem. 

                I made no changes to the server in weeks if not months, but
suddenly
        nothing
                works. Before subscribing to this list I would have been in
a big
        panic, but
                now I just turned them off. I think this shows just how
unreliable a
        BLB
                backup is.

                Why do brick level backups = BAD?
