For those of you with Veritas (Or Seagate)
I've inherited this IT environment and I can't spend any money until Jan.
5th. Oh, by the way, this exchange box as not been backed up since it was
built 2.5 years ago! Brick backups are start because this box could tank at
any moment. I'm purchasing Veritas BE 9 in January, but I cannot get it
Do a full, online backup of the store ASAP with either Veritas or NTBACKUP.

Murphy's law says that any working device can crap out and any moment. This
box is running on a gateway 1U server with no RAID drives. All it takes is
one hardware failure on a drive to take out the Private store and I am
screwed. This company doesn't even have any tape drives that are large
Ok, but what is BLB going to do for you? If you backup the whole store at
once the normal way, you are going to be back up and running a heck of a lot
faster than if you had to restore mailboxes one by one.

I agree. Although, what happens when an idiot user trashes their inbox and
then convienently forgets to tell me until after the 1 week retention

set everybody back to the state the were in when the backup was made, right?
That is what a recovery server is for. Maybe a refresher on disaster
recovery is in order.

You can not do a complete Exchange restore with BLBs. You must/should do a
full online backup of the DS and IS.
Install the Exch Admin gui on a remote W2k machine and back it up to disk.

The recovery drill should be for my boss, because I've been whining about
this for weeks now. Actually, I am doing a full store back AND brick
backup. The problem has been trying to restore a single brick. I realize
that this is duplicate information, but I wanted the granularity to restore
You shouldn't need to buy anything to do proper backups now.
While you're figuring out the options in BE, do a backup using the W2K Backup
program.

Yes, circular logging is enabled because the arse's that orginally set this

This company doesn't even have any tape drives that are large
enough to hold a backup of the mailboxes. I've had to use

Quick question. I've installed KMS on my test bed. I'm working on setting up S/MIME
