Hi

One way of securing mails to a storage devices is to use IBM CommonStore 
for Exchange. This is actually a archiving product, but will let you store 
single mail/mailboxes on a storage device. You can also set the retention 
period, retain versions for CommonStore, so that if a mail is deleted, TSM 
will still hold the mail for a pre-set amount of days.

The products doing brick-level backup of Exchange doesn't use the MS 
Exchange backup API, rather the MAPI(Mail application programming 
interface). This means that if MS is to change something in Exchange, 
there is a good chance that backups and restores will fail, due to changes 
in the API.

You can use the Veritas BackupExec client to do brick-level backup/restore 
of Exchange, and send the data to Tivoli Storage Manager. When installing 
BackupExec, there is an option called "ADSM option". Installing this, will 
create a separate dsm.opt file, located in BackupExec's program directory. 
BackupExec will then do filelevel or/and Exchange brick-level backup and 
restore. I don't know if the BackupExec client is to count as one Managed 
System for LAN. If so, there would be cheaper to buy one BackupExec 
client, than buying a TDP for Exchange.

Hope this helps

Best Regards

Hi people ...
Last Monday I installed the Tivoli Data Protection for Microsoft Exchange
2.2 in a Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5
I configured all the files and I can see the "Directory Information" and
the "Storage Groups" as all. My question is: Is possible to make a backup
only a one exchange base of one person, I need to make a backup to
selective mailbox??? If the response is "yes" .. How do this, because only
I can see as groups of all mailbox.

Thank you very much for yours help, I appreciated that very much.
Best Regards.
