RE: What is the best methode of backing up Mailboxes?
Yikes! CA people told me that brick level only should be used for 200 users max IN ADDITION to the normal backup. After 200 users your backup window starts to get very large. I'd be leery of the CA person that told you that, it couldn't have been a SE or support person (I'm hoping anyway). - Ken Leyba Windows/Exchange System Administrator http://www.csudh.edu/exchange California State University Dominguez Hills Phone: 310-243-2815 Fax: 310-516-3877 -Original Message- From: Nick Symiakakis [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, March 13, 2002 9:02 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: What is the best methode of backing up Mailboxes? Hi Everyone, I heard it through the grapevine, that I am not backing up my Exchange Server the best possible way, and I was hoping that some of you can give me some advice. I am currently backing up the Exchange Server / individual mailboxes / Brick Level. The reason I am doing so was on suggestion by the ArcServeIT people. They said that ArcServeIT software worked best when you only do a brick level backup.

What CA person told you that? I'd like to have a filters.txt word with him/her. The correct answer is 0 users max. -Original Message- From: Ken Leyba [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, March 14, 2002 10:12 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: What is the best methode of backing up Mailboxes?

RE: What is the best methode of backing up Mailboxes?
Title: RE: What is the best methode of backing up Mailboxes? We have an older version of Arcserve purchased about 5 years ago. We've never updated because it works just fine for us. I have always been suspicious of software companies bring out "updated" versions of software that don't seem to have any real improvements. Since I haven't been watching Arcserve, when did it go down hill. As a not-for-profit, we can't afford to continually upgrade software just to be on the bleeding edge. Thus, when we find that new or upgraded software doesn't provide anything but more profits for the manufacturer, we don't upgrade.

RE: What is the best methode of backing up Mailboxes?
Title: RE: What is the best methode of backing up Mailboxes? I would UPGRADE to the free NTBackup app that comes with Windows. At least for Exchange. 5 years ago... it that ArcServeIT 6.5? You know.

RE: What is the best methode of backing up Mailboxes?
Remember who the ArcServeIT folks are who told you this, because you will need to blame it on them when you are unable to restore your server after a failure. You need to do a database backup using the Exchange agent. Aside from taking the server offline, that is the ONLY way to get a recoverable backup. -Original Message- From: Nick Symiakakis [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Posted At: Wednesday, March 13, 2002 12:02 PM Posted To: Exchange Sunbelt Conversation: What is the best methode of backing up Mailboxes?
