RE: exchange backup
Well everyone hates the other guy's backup :) We finally gave up on ArcServe, it worked so poorly and they have horrible support. We used Veritas competitive upgrade to replace and have been happy ever since. It's a good product, I'm not aware of anyone dumping Veritas to go to Arcserve. Make a case for the value of your Organization's email, get the tools and hardware you need (5K will get you a nice external SCSI LTO tape drive for your server) or ask management to put it in writing that you're not responsible for lost email due to failed backups. -Original Message- From: Tony Nguyen [mailto:TNguyen;jetproducts.com] Sent: Friday, November 08, 2002 15:02 To: Exchange Discussions Subject: exchange backup I like to know how other are doing their exchange server backup for the user mailbox.

I am now using NT Backup and the AT command to backup my Exchange server. I
have been getting Error status messages on the AT command about every

delete the entry and recreate it. From what I can tell the batch fill is

The variable is because we wanted the backup date in the label. This problem
was occurring before it was ever added. The running is intermittent, some
days it works some days it don't.

RE: Exchange Backup
The script is not Y2K compliant. Notice in the 2nd line it references
8/15/98. Clearly to be Y2K compliant the year needs to be in a 4 digit
format. Also the month should be 2 digits as well. So 08/15/1998 would be
the Y2K compliant version.
Also, you might have a problem with your sound card that is impacting your
backup. Personally I've never tried the Audio backup method on the IS or the
DS, but maybe someone else on the list has. Check with Drew on the Audio
backup feature.

RE: Exchange Backup Modules question.
Craig: read the DR whitepaper http://www.microsoft.com/exchange/techinfo/administration/55/Disaster.asp http://www.microsoft.com/exchange/techinfo/administration/55/BackupRestore. asp also, some thoughts on Brick Level Backups (ie. individual mailbox backup): http://mail.tekscan.com/nomailboxes.htm http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq_appxf.htm from the archives ** The Top Ten Reasons why William Doesn't recommend Brick-level backups: 10. The only product he's tried it with is ArcServeIT (*shudder*) 9. Brick-level backups should be done in conjunction with regular backups therefore duplicating the process. 8. Brick-level backups don't clear the transaction logs 7. Brick-level restores (esp of the entire store) are VERY slow 6. Brick-level restores result in loss of Single Instance Storage 5. Brick-level backups do not properly maintain all of the data structures in the store that you might need for a full restore (at least Computer Associates product doesn't). 4. The alternative is so much easier and cleaner - deleted item retention. Set deleted item retention to say 30 days, a little user education and they can do their own mailbox' restore. 3. Regular use of exmerge (to pst files for backup) for important mailboxes is another alternative. 2. Section 3.11 at: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq_sec3.htm says so (ok, I don't do everything I'm told either). 1. The archives at the Exchange list at swynk.com are full of Brick-level horror stories. -William Lefkovics, MCSE, A+ ** Brick Level Backups will not cause your car to rust out or your hair to fall out. They are unlikely to make your system less reliable (but no guarantees there), nor make your normal non-brick-level backups less reliable. They do, however, use more tape, make your backup jobs take more time and wear your tape drive out faster. They give you a false sense of security that you can get something back when in fact you may not. And you often cannot get everything back from a brick level backup. Brick Level Backup is a kludgy crutch for administrators who insist on managing their Exchange systems as if they were cc:Mail or MS Mail systems. They want the benefits of a database e-mail architecture, but want to manage it as if it were a file-based system. If you follow the Ed Crowley Never Restore Method®, you can remain secure in the knowledge that you'll almost never need to do a Brick Level Restore. If, for some rare event you find that you need to restore a message or mailbox, then you have a great opportunity to practice your disaster recovery techniques on your recovery server. What? You don't have a recovery server? Well, you need one whether or not you use Brick Level Backup. In a nutshell, Brick Level Backups aren't evil. But they're completely superfluous. -Ed Crowley MCSE+Internet MVP ** -Michèle Immigration site: http://LadySun1969.tripod.com Our new 2001 Miata: http://members.cardomain.com/bpituley Tiggercam: http://www.tiggercam.co.uk - Doglet: A dog so small it can be terrorized by an average-sized cat. - -Original Message- From: Chris Scharff [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, October 18, 2001 3:27 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Exchange Backup Modules question.

RE: Exchange Backup Modules question.
FAQ. The agent's sole purpose is not to allow for BLB type backups. It is two allow for Exchange Aware backups which allows you to do online backups. Read the DR whitepapers for a better grasp.

Re: Exchange Backup Modules question.
You can do backups without the Exchange Agents by stopping the services and doing off-line backups. But then, you can't restore to the point of failure (transaction logs won't be applied to an off-line restore). The Exchange agent allows the backup to work with the Exchange System Attendant to backup or restore an online database.

RE: Exchange Backup Modules question.
Every night we schedule the exchange services to stop at 11pm and start at 6 am. Our email is held up at our ISP and is delivered when our exchange server is back online at 6am. My understanding is that if I had to do a restore, I would have all email up until 11:00pm the night before. I'm confused about the transaction logs. Would having transaction logs up until the point of failure help me at all if I'm only doing an offline back up? It sounds like I need to have an online back up to use these transaction logs if I were to have any hope of restoring to the point of failure. -Original Message- From: Eric Cooper [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, October 18, 2001 1:52 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Re: Exchange Backup Modules question.

RE: Exchange Backup Modules question.
You need to understand how exchange works. Read the disaster recovery white paper. Then you need to use your backups. Test them and see if they work.

RE: Exchange Backup Modules question.
Nothing will help you when you go to do a restore and find out you've been backup up a corrupt database for months.[1] Since you're only doing offline backups, your transaction logs would never be purged so you might as well leave circular logging enabled and sign up for that machete juggling class you've been considering. ;) [1] Not that we'd want that to happen to you, but there's no way to know if the database integrity is intact without doing an online backup.
