Actually, we are using Arcserve 2000 to backup Exchange5.5 on W2K
member serves. We fought Arcserve for over 8 months to fix their agent and
it looks like they have it 95% operational and tolerable. We are seeing
through=put speeds of up to 100mb/minute. We are backing up servers with
databases of up to 15gb. All-be-it we are using old DLT4000 technology, the
backups are getting done and we have been able to restore peoples individual
folders (i.e. sent items, inbox, etc...)
Now I have heard that TSM might be doing this in version 5.1x, I do not know
how true this is, but I now they DO NOT do it now...
Hope this helps

Define what mailbox means to you. If you are talking about the calendar and
other little goodies including public folders, none do that except maybe
CommVault. And, I do not think they can do the public folders.
The thing that Veritas and Arcserver created are for marketing only and
really are so slow you can only use it for a few select mailboxes.
None replace the normal exchange backups that you have to do to be able to
recover the exchange stores.
I found out just yesterday that Exchange 2000 has a reserved area you can
restore an information store to. Once you have done that you can truly
recover a mailbox and its contents. This was Microsoft's answer to the
problem. But, Exchange 2000 requires active directory and other hurdles to
get there. However, my Exchange boys point out you must not put any
mailboxes you might want to recover in the "base" information store because
that one cannot be restored to the reserve area. That one has all the
exchange specific extensions to active directory.

We have not moved to version 5.1x yet, but we are on version 4.2.2x and the
answer is most definitely not! There are only 2 other outside vendors that
back up bricks, 1.) Veritas 2.) Arcserve2000
The only way to do individual folder recovery (i.e. Inbox, or Sent items,
etc..) is to export to a PST file then back up that file.

We are evaluating TSM here and a question came up with regard to TSM and
Exchange. Will TSM backup and restore individual mailboxes?
