Here’s what I do … I
have one batch file for each day … the sql server tape backup just picks up
the directories to tape and I can quickly restore any of the last seven days
files. ROBOCOPY is from Microsoft, I’m using the XP010 version on my
windows 2000 server.

As for the
Outlook/McAfee problem have him increase his SMTP/POP3 timeout in outlook to
the maximum and make sure he’s not checking is mail faster then very 5
mins. I’ve found those items to help outlook a lot.

Subject: [IMail Forum] IMail backup and
Outlook 2000 problem
I have two questions and I'm
open for anyone's suggestions....
First, what do you use for a
backup of the IMail mail each night? I'm not concerned that
backing up at 2 a.m. won't save the mail delivered after, I'm more
concerned about saving the folders, rules, etc. for each account
in case someone deletes them and that has happened a couple of
times in the last few months. We put a new hard drive in our Mail
server specifically for doing this, but now I'm not sure what programs
there are out there to do a daily backup. I would like to know if
there is a program for backing up using dates in order to keep several
days without overriding what was backed up the night before. Any
suggestions? What are all of you using?
Second, I have a client with
Outlook 2000 and McAfee Security Center and he is getting duplicate
emails incoming, even though when he looks on IMail browser login, there
are no duplicates. His McAfee is saying it is catching a Trojan
and cleaning it and it stops Outlook 2000 download. He interprets
this to mean that something is wrong with my Mail server and threatening
to pull the plug on his website and mail to go with someone that can fix
this. I am struggling to find answers. I think its a McAfee
vs. Outlook problem but because his mail gets interrupted in downloading
to his machine he claims I am the culprit.
We run Declude with Sophos
AV scanning all types of attachments and most updated virus lists and
catching several hundred viruses headed to accounts every day. Any
suggestions of where to look for some answers? Microsoft and
McAfee are no help. McAfee asks him to physically remove all his
mail and point the finger at the mail server. Microsoft never
claims there is a problem with conflict with any software....
Help? |
