Learn, live and love FAQ Appendix B (http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq_appxb.htm) and you'll never [1] need to restore a mailbox fast.
[1] Never is a long time. However in the very rare occurrences that my method fails you, it'll give you a wonderful opportunity to practice your disaster recovery drills, something very few administrators get to do very often.

It depends. Individual mailbox backup is a nice feature if you ever need to restore an individual mb FAST. It does make the backup take longer. I've used it in some smaller shops and it works fine. Check it out and see if it works in your situation. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Michael Anderson Sent: Friday, December 13, 2002 9:36 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Tape Backup Questions Hello, In "Exchange Aware" tape backup programs, like the one bundled with Windows 2000 or Veritas Backup Exec, in the Tree of available drives and resources, it also shows "Microsoft Exchange Mailboxes" and the "Microsoft Information Store". If the Mailbox store physically resides on the D Drive, what all do I need to check off to ensure that I properly backup the Exchange Message Store? Do I JUST want the "Microsoft Information Store"? Do I want that, AND "D Drive"? I am a bit confused here. I know that the "Microsoft Exchange Mailboxes" gives me the ability to backup individual users mailboxes - and that's something I would like to eventually do on a regular basis. But I have heard bad things about this too. Could an Exchange Guru please throw some good tips my way, as to what I should select (and not select) to ensure that all the proper datafiles are grabbed? Thank you all very much for any answers you can throw my way, Mike _________________________________________________________________ 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] _________________________________________________________________ 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]
