There is tons. That is not the issue. What I am after is real life experiences with this, that someone has used it, tried it, and its quicker than conventional multi stream backups?

Have you got this implemented?

I am sure you must have checked there is sufficient free space on the clients to accomdate snapshots.

I have TB's of Exchange Data, and do Information Store backups. These usually get finished in roughly 6 hours or so.

I got an Eval License to look at "Snapshot" Backups for Exchange 2k3. Environment is all pure Windows Master and Media Servers

Created a new Policy, ensured the NetBackup Client Service was using a Domain Account with permissions.
Ensure the policy had "perform snapshot backups" and using VSS

Ran it ... but its slower than I expected. Just wondered if anyone had any real experience on this, as I dont want to fork out alot of money for something that I thought would be better (and it should be!)

Thanks
