Mailbox Backup
I am looking for a backup where I can restore individual mailboxes, We are running Exchange 5.5 SP3 Thanks Garry Whitson Microcomputer Support Specialist Lincoln Land Community College [EMAIL PROTECTED] List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm
Mailbox Backup
Hello All, I am currently running a Win2k server with Exchange2k. All the latest service packs have been downloaded and installed, for both the os and mail server. I have Backup Exec 8.6 revision 3878 on the system with the exchange agent. There are no problems backing up the entire mail store, because I have done that successfully. The problem lies with backing up individual mailboxes. I called veritas and they stated that a mapi32 client has to be installed on the server to backup individual mailboxes. What are the exact security issues with installing Outlook2k on the server. Are there any other mapi32 clients out there that would be bettter suited for this backup job? If you have a similar configuration, how do you backup individual mailboxes? TIA, any help is appreciated. GCA List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm

RE: Mailbox Backup
Actually, it's not recommended by Microsoft to install Outlook on an Exchange 2000 server. See: http://support.microsoft.com/search/preview.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q266418 Also, you'll find it's not recommended to do bricks level backups by just about every sane Exchange person out there. See the archives for War & Peace on this subject. :-) Put those two together, and you've got a solution that simply involves doing an online backup of the store, and since GCA says that this already works, looks like we have a solution!

Re: Mailbox Backup
Hey, Thanks for the reply. Which system mailboxes are you speaking about? I have Backup Exec on another exchange server and I get the error messages with user mailboxes also. I just tend to ignore them. I spent many hours on the phone with veritas on the phone about these error messages. I'm not sure what you mean by BLB. The reason why I want to backup individual mailboxes is for house keeping. I will continue to backup the IS, but would like to backup individual mailboxes also. Just in case if a user needs to restore individual mail, then I would not need to restore the entire IS. If I can restore individual mailboxes it would be faster and easier then the whole IS. > I don't think there is an issue with Outlook being on the server.

RE: Mailbox Backup
BLB is best answered here: http://mail.tekscan.com/nomailboxes.htm Bottom line, really, is to enable deleted item retention for a decent amount of time, say 30 days, and most importantly - educate your users on how to use it. Good luck!

Re: Mailbox Backup
These are the notes I have: Be sure that the permissions are accurate, and that the IMS mailbox is not being backed up. I was also informed that: a.. It is not necessary to back up the Exchserver folder on the hard drive (Exchange agent handles this) b.. It is not necessary to back up the MSSQL folder on the hard drive c.. A media set must be created to adjust the overwrite options on the tapes. By default, the media set does not allow overwrites, and that is why we ALWAYS had to blank out tapes before they could be used (even new tapes). This will save us time on all backups d.. A status of FAILED on a backup does NOT mean that the backup is bad. You must look at the log itself to verify which portions of the Backup did fail. All other elements are good, and can be restored. A BLB is considered very bad practice, and unnecessary. If you want to restore individual items, and have the Store space, institute DIR. You won't have to restore items for users anymore either. THEY can do it.
