RE: Backup Exec Question
We actually own the Exchange agent already-we've had it installed on our old Exchange server (the one that we've just decommissioned). So, the only agent I install on the remote Exchange server is the Backup Exec for Windows agent, then the Exchange agent actually goes on the full server? I'm definitely glad to be kissing tapes goodbye. If the ExaGrid performs as advertised, we should be able to keep much longer backups. And no more tape drives to worry about cleaning or feeding tapes to.

Yes, but BackupExec can only send one job at a time to a single tape drive. Other jobs wait in a queue until the previous job completes.

Re: backup exec question
Ara, Try staging to disk with multiple streams and then moving to tape. That'll shorten your backup window and won't require additional tape hardware and will provide you with faster backups. A word of caution. My existing BUE environment doesn't dupe to tape well so I would test in your environment first for reliability. This is why I'm moving away from BUE. - Jer [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Roger Wright [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote on 03/13/2008 03:33:08 PM: “Also is there any way to have multiple backup jobs going to tape at the same time?” No, and this is one of my big disappointments with BUE.
