Apologies for hijacking this thread, but this reminds me of a statement made to me by a consultant that I've been meaning to verify. I mentioned to him that I was seriously considering using lagged copies to replace our current tape backups. He told me that he had heard there were 'serious issues' concerning restores using lagged copies and that MS itself does not use lagged copies as a backup replacement because of this. He then went on to say that he had heard MS was considering removing the ability to create lagged copies in a future version of Exchange and/or recommend the practice no longer be used as a backup replacement.
I find this hard to believe, but figured I'd ask those on the list that may have a little more insight. To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Re: Exchange 2010 using DAG Backup?

Or what your needs are. And your need isn't as simple as "we need a backup." If I had a large enough environment, with some satellite offices, I'd think really hard about not running a backup and running a lagged server in the DAG. I don't know if that will work for you, but it's something to consider. On Tue, Jun 14, 2011 at 2:59 PM, sms adm <sms...@gmail.com<mailto:sms...@gmail.com>> wrote: 3 servers, no lagged copies.

Are you running a lagged copy on a member of your DAG? I may be drinking the Kool-Aid, but large enough organizations could easily go without backups with the correct configuration.
