These are two issues.
TrendMicro's ScanMail and Sybari's Antigen are the favored A/V solutions for
this list.
Brick backups are dog slow by virtue of how they work - a MAPI call is made
to each item in a mailbox in order to gather the data that belongs to that
mailbox. You will never achieve a good speed with brick backups. Are you
also doing full online backups? While bricks can suppliment online backups,
they are not a solution that will help in terms of disaster recovery.

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.
