We also use TSM and it is great for our Exchange 5.5 system or anything else with few but large files.
It's pretty easy to work with once you get used to it. We're going to have to mess around with our SAN config to allow for a restore domain for Exchange 2000 but that's our problem (as is the reason we're going to Exchange 2000 & not 2003 - as it happens it looks like we might even have a 2003 server for doing restores of our Exchange 2000 system - batty but not my decision and not relevant, I realise). -----Original Message----- From: Fyodorov, Andrey [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 11 December 2003 15:04 To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Best backup software for Exchange I concur. We have TSM here at Spherion and I am growing to like it. The back-end of TSM is taken care of by *nix guys, so I don't know how easy it is to configure and maintain it there. But on the Exchange server side it is very straightforward and works very well. Our Exchange servers are on a SAN, and we have recently implemented SAN backup, with the tape drives residing on the SAN fabric. This way the backup/restore data is not sent via the Ethernet, but rather via fiber - it is very fast.
