I do the same thing.... Backup the Is and then backup the boxes.. I've had to restore individual messages from time to time and it works great! I wouldn't do a complete restore form the mailbox level backups though....
Thanks!

There was one guy several months ago that was doing it, had the time and tape to do it, and it worked fine for him. -----Original Message----- From: Jeramy Eling [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, January 14, 2002 2:26 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Individual Mail Box Backup We run Exchange 2000, I was just trying to get peoples opinions about backing up Individual Mailboxes. We backup the DB using Veritas Backup Exec, but we also backup the individual mailboxes as well, is this necessary or can we just backup the DB?
