Arch, I just installed the same drive for backing up a small Network including Exchange. The Iomega software definitely does not support Exchange. When I registered the drive I also want thru a survey were I suggested that would be a good feature for them to add to their software. I am using something similar to the "kludge" that Eric suggested :-) and it's working fairly well. I have NTBACKUP creating the bkf file directly on the REV disk and then just swap the disk as appropriate.

Backup Exec 8.6 could also do the same thing with a Backup-to-Disk folder. This assumes you have enough free space to do a full backup of the exchange databases. </kludge> Backup Exec 8.6 does work with Exchange 2000. I've used it with a previous company. No clue about Iomega supporting Exchange 2000 natively, but I would assume it probably doesn't.

He is running Exchange 2000 and has about 30GB of data in different files. One if the items I found was a Iomega REV 35GB/90GB drive. He has Backup Exec 8.6 which works with Exchange 2000 (though not supported). I inquired to Iomega as to if the backup software that comes with their drive works with Exchange 2000 and got the non answer shown below. Does anyone have any experience using this drive? Thanks, Arch Willingham Iomega REV 35GB/90GB drive Capacity = 90GB compressed Speed = 25MB per second Cost = $349.77 Tape/cartridge cost = $60.00 (or four for $200.00) http://www.iomega.com/na/products/family-save.jsp?FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=1600 6169&ASSORTMENT%3C%3East_id=63191&bmUID=1085167983309 Subject --------------------------------------------------------------- REV 35 and MS-Exchange Discussion Thread --------------------------------------------------------------- Response (XXXX) - 05/20/2004 03:12 PM Thank you for using Iomega's Online Support Services. I understand that you would like to know if the Iomega Automatic Backup Pro software that comes with the Iomega REV35 drive will backup MS-Exchange 2000. Please note that we have not tested backing MS-Exchange 2000 with Iomega Automatic backup Pro. Therefore, we cannot say that it will backup MS-Exchange 2000.
