Takes too long? The mail doesn't stop flowing, so what's their problem? Focusing on that objection--and you already have given critical reasons for full daily--how about looking to upgrade the tape drive to a faster model? Or if that's out of the question, there's what's the preferred alternative anyway: back up FAST to disk, then let the snail-drive take its own good time. BTW, differential only backs up the logs, and I don't believe you can immediately use Recovery Storage Groups from backed up logs.
-----Original Message----- From: Neil Doody [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, January 03, 2007 4:21 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Full/Incremental or Differential backups of exchange databases Okay, I just want to gauge feedback on the various types of backup for exchange. In every place I have worked I have always recommended only doing full backups on a daily basis to clear down the logs and ensure we have multiple sets of fully recoverable databases, it just seems the safer option to me and I always recommend against anything else. In my current project they are saying the backups take to long so a suggestion has been made for differentials. I am looking to get professional opinions on the various types of backup ideas so I can put a formal case forward with my recommendations. Any advice would be great. Cheers.
