This is exactly the type of backup (and restore) that you should be doing - a good model to follow. While Acronis does cool stuff, it's not something I'd consider using for Exchange backup/restore.

I'm not the Acronis expert on our staff, so I can't say whether you can restore from that or not. We are running Exchange 2003. We do normal Exchange full backups every night running Evault. Backup Exec and plain old NTBackup do about the same thing. We've had to restore one database or another many times because some user went and deleted his Calendar or something, and recover deleted items only works on email. We could always restore to the night before the deletion to a recovery storage group on the same Exchange server, using a big USB drive to put the restored databases, pluck the person's mailbox out and deposit it right in his Outlook folder list for him to play with at will. We'd give the user a few days to get things right and delete the redundant stuff, and put his quota back. This solution works so well for us, I don't know if Acronis can do normal Exchange-style backups or not. -- Larry Wahlers Concordia Technologies The Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod MailTo:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Business Phone: (314) 996-1876 > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On > Behalf Of Brett Fernicola > Sent: Friday, July 13, 2007 12:57 PM > To: Exchange Discussions > Subject: RE: I need some advice on a good Exchange Backup - > Restore Solution. > > I agree, Acronis works great for standard servers and > workstations.
