RE: [Exchange] RE: Veeam
SO the backup folks are telling me 2 or 3 issues, which I would like to check in on with those actually using the product. :) (1) Poor to-tape archiving solution. You have to restore an entire backup from tape before you can select and restore a single file.So to restore a PST or two for a termed employee, it would require restoring all of a two day job before we could restore a 300MB PST. (2) If their Exchange environment is virtualized, it would make sense. Ours isn't, so Veeam isn't really an option. They did the testing, not me, so I feel like I am not connecting the dots here between their comments and your experience.

Re: [Exchange] RE: Veeam
Well, restoring a PST is a file restore, not an Exchange restore. You have to remember how Veeam works. It takes a snapshot of a VM, then backs up the entire VM (aka an image-level backup). So yes, to restore a file from a guest OS running in a VM, you must first restore that VM before you can get a single file back. Now, if you have multiple VMs on a single full backup on the tape, you can choose to restore ONLY that VM, not ALL VMs that are on the tape. Up until 6 months ago we were an all physical Exchange shop too. We had several physical Exchange servers in a DAG. We wanted to move away from Backup Exec so we stood up a virtual Exchange server with the mailbox role and added it to the DAG. Then we had Veeam backup the passive copies of the DAG databases from that server. Veeam integrates with VSS, so when the full backup was done on the virtual Exchange, it truncated the logs on all Exchange servers. http://helpcenter.veeam.com/backup/70/vsphere/restoring_files_from_tape.html On Wed, Nov 12, 2014 at 12:49 PM, Alice Goodman ali...@mckinstry.com wrote: SO the backup folks are telling me 2 or 3 issues, which I would like to check in on with those actually using the product.
