Exchange 5.5 sp4. Here's is my question. We have one PDC which serves as a IMC as well as an OWA server. We currently have a second system with is our BDC which also has IMC and OWA on it. Currently both systems have backup tape units and tapes rotated on the nightly basis.
The BDC needs to be replaced and the question posed to me by management is do we need a tape drive. Management would like to get a 1u Dell (doesn't come with tape) and put it in the rack with our dedicated Exchange Servers. I have never put a production system in place without a tape unit. I can backup the Exchange DB's from one of our other Exchange servers, but I'm wondering what everyone's opinion is of not have a backup unit on this box and would there be any problems/issues that you could think of. Thanks in advance!
