You are right friends, I am doing a brick level backup. I also backup DS and IS. The key in here is that I have *not* an adequate test machine for recovering single mailboxes. So, correct me if I'm wrong or if I oversee something relevant, brick level backup is the only way for me, isn't it?! And, no unfortunately I won't get the bucks for a similar test machine ;-((( Greetings Steffen

Besides is only the OS and little more (antivirus etc) on the machine. The machine itself is a P3 Xeon with 500 Mhz and 512 MB RAM. It has an DLT 80 and uses backup software Veritas Backup Exec Multiserver 7.3. The problem: The backup of the Exchange Mailboxes lasts 12 hours, the whole filesystem (27 GB) is being taped in half an hour. Why does take so long to read out the mailboxes of the information store? Anybody seen this or any idea? Thx in advance Steffen _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
