I'm so happy you haven't had a single problem with them.  That still
doesn't mean that you need it.  If you want to waste your time, tape and
keep going on deluding yourself, please go right ahead.  I answer
thousands of posts in this and other forums and there are very many from
people who have had problem with brick backups.  I will continue
crusading against a superfluous feature.

Subject: RE: Veritas Netbackup error on MSX 5.5


i have a total of 3600 mailboxes and i do a blb daily included in my
full backup of the exchange server, with each mailbox an average of 1gb
and i have a fiber AIT tape library and use backupexec8.6 and i have not
had a single issue with blb. Yes its true it takes longer than if you
dont use blb and yes its true it increases the tape space beeded, but
those are not good enough reasons to say "Oh BLB sucks, you absolutely
should never use BLB" Backup exec is one of the if not the best backup
software for exchange brick level backups. Arcserve users do not bother
with BLB. Obviously i dont do BLB on all my servers, i do use deleted
item retension, i have 82 sites with 114 exchange servers, we dont use
blb on all of them, but we do use blb on exchange servers that hold all
the high level execs mailboxes.

Hi Kanee,

I do use blb, but only for a chosen few. I have to do this since it was
consuming our backup window and our tape (we have other things besides
mail :-). I love blb folder level backup. It save me once (my boss gave
me thumbs up when I recovered his beloved folder in minutes :-). I love
the mailbox backup level too, it save me once, too (an admin screwed up
with exmerge, wiping out a dozen mailboxes :-). 

Suffice it to say, blb is a great feature poorly implemented (by the
backup sw or by exchange or both). If blb can backup w the speed and
optimization of _normal_ dir/info store backup, then I will go back to
doing full blb again. This is just humble opinion only. 

Thanks -botp
