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)

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

Been to the IBM Partner class. It's a fairly simple replication system that is (currently) partially integrated with TSM, with more complete integration to come with later releases. It allows for bandwidth throttling, and has a CDP (constant data protection) component for (more or less)

Do you use TSM Fastback with Windows 2008 and Exchange 2007? Are you able to restore public folders with this client? With TDP for Exchange I'm not able to do it, and we will need it for awhile before we can leave public folders behind. Can you restore the data to another server in some way?

There's no evaluation provided. List is USD1030.90 for 10 PVU of the basic product with exchange brick-level and bare-metal. It's the former FilesX product. We're torn between implementing it and waiting for the native brick-level exchange restores in TSM 6. Every Thursday this month at 15:30
