RE: Best backup software for Exchange
First off, don't drink the Koolaid that says BCV snaps of Exchange are a good idea. At least not yet - not until there is native (i.e. written by Microsoft) support for pausing IO and acquiescing of the database prior to a snapshot being taken. Even then, it is NOT the zero downtime solution that an online backup provides - because the database IO must be halted to bring about a consistent database state prior to creating the snapshot. IIRC, Ex2k3 or one of its service packs is supposed to support this functionality. Add to the above reasons the aspects of what are lost on your production database (page checking as part of the backup) and they're still not a good idea. I find it much more palatable to have a RAID0 array on-SAN that is used for backups via NTBackup and then rip that file to tape. But its not a kewl technology and no where nearly as 31337 as BCV and snapshots. -- Roger D.

RE: Best backup software for Exchange
Have you seen a mental health professional lately? I had the decidedly unfortunate experience to have inherited ArcServe when I started here.

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.

I think Netbackup allows tape multiplexing which greatly increases backup speeds, but could be a pain during restores - data would need to be de-multiplexed.

RE: Best backup software for Exchange
I'm still partial to doing a manual rotation scheme, but maybe that's just old school. I also have a large number of systems for which we do daily full backups. I also prefer to do differentials rather than incrementals, which means GFS doesn't usually work so well. Roger -- Roger D.

In the past 5 years we went from CA ArcServe to Veritas BackupExec to CommVault Galaxy. We are very happy with the CommVault solution. We backup over SAN fiber fabric, a dedicated GB backend server network and the user's 100MB network. It is very fast and resilient. It is worth your time to look at this.

RE: Best backup software for Exchange
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.
