Hello, amanda-users, until now I managed to get around these things, but today I was confronted with the question how to backup a MS Exchange Server !
Ok, I know, it's something like: - stop exchange - dump exchange to file - start exchange - dump file to tape/disk with AMANDA But there was another thing I was asked and which is definitely offtopic in here, but due to the fact that I hope that someone has solved this already AND uses AMANDA I am not scared that much: As I have never seen such a server IRL, I can only tell you what I was told. MS Exchange seems to only be able to dump ONE BIG FAT dumpfile, from which you can only recover ALL the server. If you only need/want to restore SOME mails, this does not work. Correct me on this, it's hard to believe for me anyway. If I could offer these guys an AMANDA-based solution which would be able to restore single mails this would open some doors ;-) I will research on this on the web, but maybe someone in here already knows what to do and how ... Thanks a lot ... -- best regards, Stefan G. Weichinger mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
