RE: [IMail Forum] Backup software

No it doesn't, but my review of the logs show very few skipped files on a 
system with 1000+ users, 5-10K messages daily, and approximately 10GB worth 
of stored messages.  So the solution does work. On a side note, I'm not 
sure how much of a problem locked files really are.  The contents of an 
email server are constantly changing, so backup is only a snapshot in 
time.  The backup therefore is a best effort solution to recover from 
disaster.  A RAID solution, while not a backup solution provides enough 
redundancy to stave off data loss by hard disk failure.  This is probably 
the number 2 cause of data loss, the first is probably human error.
