RE: [ActiveDir] Exchange Backup

Title: Message

A good cheap solution we had in place before the purchase of our SAN was the Dellnas appliance server.  It is a 1U SATA drive array of varying size.  We actually still have the NAS appliances in production and use them for temporary storage / backup to magnetic media as it is fast and cost effective.  This way our tape backup can run at anytime as we have an unlimited (24 hour) window once the backup is off of our exchange servers.  We currently run Backup Exec with the Exchange agents, not sure which version, but I am fairly sure it is the latest release and patch.  This is for the ASP / hosting company, Utopiasystems.net (shameless plug, I know!) and not my day job where this e-mail resides from.       David Chianese RHCE, MCSE+I, CNE, CNA  -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Salandra, Justin A.
