I once lost 2 months worth of data because Legato Networker kept on reporting that everything was backed up successfully.

As far as I know, every networker feature can be accessed via command line utilities. Networker can do brick level backups of a limited number of mailboxes. I've never tested it, though. I'll have to say that although Networker can be a royal pain to use, it is stable. Also, getting backups going the way you want can be perplexing, but once Networker says something is backed up, you CAN recover it. As for brick level backups: in general, they are not needed (do a little research and you will find out why). In the rare case where BLB is needed, I've always just used exmerge. -----Original Message----- From: Atkinson, Daniel [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, September 16, 2003 9:47 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Brick Level Backup We are being forced to re-evaluate arcserve by our development team because it's the only product they've found that they can properly interface with via CLI or API. This isn't for exchange backups, but I still feel a bit sick about the idea of arcserve being installed on any of our servers. We're told that the latest version is stable, but I'm skeptical. -----Original Message----- From: Ben Winzenz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 16 September 2003 15:46 To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Brick Level Backup You won't find many recommendations to perform brick-level backups here. At least not from competent Exchange Admins. Do a full online backup, implement deleted items retention and deleted mailbox retention and go eat some cookies. As for your comment about Arkanserve crashing, well I'll be! I NEVER had a problem with it when I used it (grin). Truthfully, Argghhhhserver is the biggest piece of crap software that I have ever come across. It doesn't surprise me that brick-backups/restores fail using it. I couldn't even get a good restore from an ONLINE backup using it.

I have gave up on Arcserve as it crashes to many times on critical restores. Any advice welcome.
