Check the FAQ (above - appendix B) and/or the list archives, but mailbox backups (aka brick level backups) are not highly recommended by the experts here. They significantly increase your backup time and tape usage, and do not capture the server-level info (System State, etc.) needed to do a full server recovery. You would end up needing to do a full online backup anyway for that reason. There are other methods (Ed C's never restore mailbox thingie in the FAQ for 5.5 and Mailbox Recovery in Ex2K) that eliminate the need to also back up individual mailboxes. Use BE to do a full server backup, which will capture all mailbox data, and practice using those tapes for disaster recovery purposes. > -----Original Message----- > From: Santhosh, H.
