Ever tried DLT tapes? it's expensive but I NEVER had a damaged tape in 5 years. On the contrary, ± 50 DAT tapes (120m) are damaged (after incremental backups, never reusing a tape) in my archives of ±250 tapes... -- Serge Paulus Helpdesk Microscript s.a. 51 rue du Poinçon B-1000 Brussels

Retrospect and Microsoft Exchange

2000-03-08 Thread Aaron Golub
Has anyone used Retroscpect to back up the mail store on a Microsoft Exchange 5.5 server? How does it handle this? Does the backup actually work? Can you recover email from the backed-up mail store? Feel free to email me directly if this has already been covered on the list. Aaron --

You're gonna have to stop the Exchange services, I'm certain. But, like anything, if you did perform a "cold" backup of Exchange/SQL/Oracle/etc, you would be able to back it up successfully. Mind you, I have not done this, since BackupExec lets me do a "hot" backup of Exchange and SQL. Brad.

Retrospect cannot back up live Exchange servers. Nor can you restore individual mailboxes or messages from a full Exchange backup. We are looking into offering an "agent" to back up live Exchange servers (as I suspect Brad must be using with ArcServe) some time in the future. Before this,

Ben, Another problem, maybe related, is that, often, if I try to do a manual backup of one of our PCs, Retrospect reports that *no* files were copied. And I know that there is new/modified data that needs backing up. I can select files for back up, and they appear to get copied to tape.

Re: AIT drives

Yup - we use lots of AITs - not the LaCie ones specifically, but since it's just the SONY mechanism in a LaCIE case it should be representative. Currently we're using the 25/50 tapes but there's very little difference in the new ones. We have over 4,000 AIT tapes in current use over the
