We are doing snap backup from the CCR Secondary copy with good performance. What does take a little time (Not much, but we do see it) is the exchange consistency checks and log replay on the snapshot. We have a similar amount of data to you. What disk subsystem do you have for the exchange data? The mailstore backup is a big sequential read of all your data.  You may want to check you don't have online maint windows scheduled for when you are running the backup as that will fill up your snapshot delta fast and make both things run a lot slower than you would like.

I haven't checked recently, but we backup a TB of Exchange in about 3 hours. It is Exchange 2007 though, and we are backing up to DataDomain DD660.

I love the Optimized Dupe of that data :)

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
