Can it be done? Yes. It is possible to write a backup system that in effect copies off the contents of individual mailboxes one at a time, thus exploding single instance storage into some unfathomable large number that will require Enron accounting to pay for the backup media.
Do any shipping backup products support it? I don't know, but would be very surprised if they didn't. Lots of people make procurement decisions on dubious criteria. Tell you boss that there is no such thing a an individual mailbox and that it's all an illusion. There is one big group account. It is called the store. Different users get to see different content based on their permissions. Regular backup is bricked, since it takes a single image of the single mailbox that is the store. Maybe that will cause the lights to come on. -----Original Message----- From: Chris Haaker [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, February 08, 2002 12:27 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Stupid Question My boss is looking for the definitive answer. I KNOW the answer for XCH 5.5. but in XCH 2K does MS support the use of brick - level backups (ducks quickly) Thanks!
