Re: anyone currently using or evaluating TSM FastBack
True, the fastback exchange software is installed on a machine with outlook installed on it, it used the outlook connection to inject the objects back into exchange. Fastback exchange software does NOT run on the exchange server. On the exchange server you only have the default (one size fits all) fastback agent running that is the same for all windows clients and that client just let's you configure the fastback server via a = 100Mb tcp/ip connection. -Oorspronkelijk bericht- Van: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Namens Mark Stapleton Verzonden: dinsdag 2 december 2008 19:54 Aan: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Onderwerp: Re: [ADSM-L] anyone currently using or evaluating TSM FastBack From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Allen S.

Re: anyone currently using or evaluating TSM FastBack
Larsa, Fastback doesn't work with 2008 yet, it's XP/2003 only (SP1 and up). Exchange 2007 works fine with 2003 64bit. Restoring public folders is no problem. I can restore data to another server also, as long as I have access on the domain network. Restored items from Exchange do come back as unread, also the forward/reply icons are gone after a restore.

On Mon, 1 Dec 2008 08:07:53 +0100, Stefan Folkerts [EMAIL PROTECTED] said: [...] I haven't yet seen mention of what was the coolest thing (to me) about the fastback product: 'instant' restore. The basic idea is, if you restore an entire volume, the whole thing gets mounted immediately. Then, TSM starts rattling around restoring individual files, in whatever order its' normal efficiency calculations suggest. -BUT- if you try to open a file, then it + permits the open to succeed, but blocks reads + interrupts the ongoing restore stream + restores the file you were after. Unblocks reads. + goes back to processing the restore stream So, for many purposes, the filesystem is back much faster, maybe even immediately. This improvement is exacerbated if you're on FILE volumes: it may be fast enough that you don't even notice that TSM hadn't gotten around to restoring that bit yet. There was more than a little bit of smoke and mirrors, but it -looked- as though that also worked on a per-message basis for exchange: i.e. you only pulled down the blocks you needed for the message you wanted back.

Re: anyone currently using or evaluating TSM FastBack
You normally schedule replication processes with Fastback (or do them manually), or you can engage the CDP technology to make it real-time. I haven't been able to do a good field (i.e., long-distance fat tub of data made up of zillions of little files) test yet, so I still need to find out just how real-time it is.

It's really simple to get going and configure, within minutes it's all done, the client is just a dream to configure, all you do is point it to the server and that's it! :) All configuration is done on the server but even that is very limited, you can't exclude data, you either backup the partition/disk or you don't, the policies are extremely simplistic but are all you need for what the product does. It just works, makes me wonder why all software can't be this simple and just work. Exchange single item restore support runs thru Outlook, that's a little odd at first but it works nicely and IBM has made that interface better it seems going from 5.5.0.0 to 5.5.1.0. I am pleased with the product except for one issue...we need Windows 2008 support and we need it fast! :) Any questions about fastback, just post it here, I will try to answer them as good as I can.

Re: anyone currently using or evaluating TSM FastBack
It was an acquisition, so I'm not sure it's all that integrated yet. However, I'm as interested in it as you are.

Re: anyone currently using or evaluating TSM FastBack
It was called FilesX and bought by IBM recently. No integration with TSM as of yet, but expect it but I'm not sure where. Perhaps brick level backup capability for Exchange...
