Guten Morgen Arno, I don't recall if it's been mentioned, but yes: First, wait. This is because the developers will need some more time ti get the excheange plugin ready, which will - hopefully - be good for production use when Bacula 3 is released. Second, upgrade to Bacula 3, and use

Could I be using it for remote backups? As I mentioned before, I'm *not* using Bacula. Instead I'm on rsnapshot at the moment. Oh... then it's not very useful to you, I believe... sorry. Well, what matters to me is the amount of data transferred in each backup session: would this plugin

Well, what matters to me is the amount of data transferred in each backup session: would this plugin do some sort of incremental backups or just backup the *whole* Exchange database? No, it can do incrementals. Ah, so it could be ok for me to use, as you say that it *can* do

As it was mentioned before, there are only 2 ways to backup exchange. 1. Use 3rd party soft (ntbackup.exe will work. I use it to backup system state on all servers) 2. Use VSS under Win 2003. To conserve space on the server itself in the case of ntbackup, you could map a network share on any
