It won't be any better. It still uses MAPI in 6.0 to read each mailbox. As long as it does this, it will ALWAYS be SLOOOWWWW!

Have brick level backups improved with these version upgrades? I remember when I've tried to do our 80 GB brick level backups a year ago I think the best speed I ever got was about 24 hours. We just upgraded the Exchange server to the GB switch so Information Store backups which took about 2.2 hours before now only take about 40 minutes. I presume my brick level backups should now only take about 8 hours on the Gigabit switch, which just might fit in my backup window but it would be cutting it close. Am I correct to assume this or has version 5 or 6 improved the brick level backup performance or does Symantec have a product designed for brick level backups?
