it sounds like you are backing up individual mailboxes, this is not a good idea, see the archives for why, is it also true that if you select the brick backup then you are unable to make incremental backups......
-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Steck, Steffen M. Sent: 10 January 2002 07:24 To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Backup Hi there, I am having probs with the backup of my XCNG 5.5 Sp4 on NT4Sp6. I have a priv.edb of approximately 23 GB size. Besides is only the OS and little more (antivirus etc) on the machine. The machine itself is a P3 Xeon with 500 Mhz and 512 MB RAM. It has an DLT 80 and uses backup software Veritas Backup Exec Multiserver 7.3. The problem: The backup of the Exchange Mailboxes lasts 12 hours, the whole filesystem (27 GB) is being taped in half an hour. Why does take so long to read out the mailboxes of the information store? Anybody seen this or any idea? Thx in advance Steffen _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
