Subject: Backing up Exchange using Veritas Exec 8.x


Hello,

For those of you that use Veritas Backup Exec to backup the Exchange server,
what type of back up jobs do you run?  Daily Differentials and Full every
Friday.  DO you backup the IS and the individual mailboxes every evening or
just the IS.  I think we here have been backing up the individal mailboxes
every day as well since we have had numerous problems with users
accidentally deleting stuff and needing it restored.  

Also do most of you utilize the Open File option in veritas as you may have
users in email while it is being backed up?

I just wanted to get an idea of what type of backup strategy is used by
others.

Thanks,

[Soysal, Serdar]

Althought it is cheaper to do that, if you actually have a recovery server,
you can utilize better disk/CPU/memory which will speed up recovery.  With
the cost of servers going down and the size of ISes growing, I would opt for
that.

I have never had a server as a recovery server.
I have always had a PC for it. I set it up, test it, and shove it in a
closet with a copy of the Exch Disaster Recovery Whitepaper on it. 
It is just a standard PC with a HD larger than the IS. 128MB of RAM.
That's it. Nothing special. Just something to put the IS on and recover
as needed.

You're right.  We have spare servers, but since we have a bunch of
production servers, we don't have one for one backup.  We build as
needed.

That depends on the type of recovery you have your spare set up for. If
you want to recover the directory as well as the IS, then your statement
about being on a separate network is correct. If your spare is more for
the occasional single mailbox recovery, or for verifying backups (not of
the directory, obviously), then there is no reason the server can't be
part of the production network. It must have the same NT version and SP
level, the same Exchange SP level and hotfixes applied, and the same Org
and Site names (but not joined to any existing site).

Phil,

You need to review the white papers on Exchange Disaster
Recovery. In short, you do not set it up on your production network.  It
is hoped (actually, assumed) that you have a lab to try any changes on
your server.

what type of back up jobs do you run?  Daily Differentials and Full every
Friday.  DO you backup the IS and the individual mailboxes every evening or
just the IS.  I think we here have been backing up the individal mailboxes
every day as well since we have had numerous problems with users
accidentally deleting stuff and needing it restored.  

Also do most of you utilize the Open File option in veritas as you may have
users in email while it is being backed up?

I just wanted to get an idea of what type of backup strategy is used by
others.

Thanks,

RE: Backing up Exchange using Veritas Exec 8.x

[Josefowski, Larry]

Phil,

You need to review the white papers on Exchange Disaster Recovery.
In short, you do not set it up on your production network.  It is hoped
(actually, assumed) that you have a lab to try any changes on your server.

Where can we get info on how to setup a disaster recovery server?  Do you
install Exchange and set it up the same at the real live server or do you
deploy it as well on the network???

Thanks!

Full daily IS and log backup here.  No brick-level.  We have a disaster
recovery server designated in case we need to restore a single mailbox.

I haven't hung around this list long enough to give the correct answer to
that question, no doubt the "locals" will oblige.

RE: Backing up Exchange using Veritas Exec 8.x

[Drewski]

1) Do as comprehensive a backup as you can.  If you have time to fully
backup the Store every day, do it.
2) Brick Level Backup sucks.  If your users delete stuff accidentally, use
Deleted Item Retention, or tell them to pack sand.

Hello,

For those of you that use Veritas Backup Exec to backup the Exchange server,
what type of back up jobs do you run?  Daily Differentials and Full every
Friday.  DO you backup the IS and the individual mailboxes every evening or
just the IS.  I think we here have been backing up the individal mailboxes
every day as well since we have had numerous problems with users
accidentally deleting stuff and needing it restored.

Also do most of you utilize the Open File option in veritas as you may have
users in email while it is being backed up?

I just wanted to get an idea of what type of backup strategy is used by
