Huh. 2 postings again.
I use NAV, and I've never had a problem with it. If you are using just
MAPI, I think that there is an architectural limit that prevents it from
completely guaranting that a virus won't get through in times of heavy load.
I use plain old NTbackup and I've not seen a problem with backup. What
would backup have to do with it?

Subject: Antivirus and Backups
We're currently running NAV for Exchange 2.13 and I must say the product
stinks.
I have Exchange 5.5 on a W2K Advanced Server box.
I'm trying to backup individual mailboxes using Backup Exec 8.5, with the
Exchange add-on.
Horrible throughput. Went to Symantec's unbelievably-unhelpful web site,
where it was suggested I use MAPI mode only instead of VAPI/MAPI mode. I
made the change to MAPI.
I have now received an email which contains a virus. Looks as though MAPI
doesn't work too well.
Also, the backups have done better, but are still extremely slow.
My question is - what is everyone else out there using for antivirus and/or
backup? I know there are some other vendors out there...I'm looking for a
good solution that includes auto-updates, allows me to use Backup Exec for
individual mailboxes (at a decent speed), and actually WORKS!
Any recommendations or advice would be appreciated.
