Hi

The Exchange server will backup the adressbook and the information store. 
The normal backup/restore client backups the the active directory. When 
doing a restore, you first restore the files and system objects(AD), and 
then restore the information store.

In this way, all the information from both Exchange and the AD will be 
both backed up and restored when you choose to do so.

No, there is no brick level restore for TSM. However, some of my 
colleauges have successfully used BackupExec NT/2000 client to backup 
using brick-level to a TSM server. I haven't done this myself, however 
they have told me that somehow you can configure the BackupExec client to 
send data to the TSM server.

There has been rumors that Tivoli is working on a brick-level restore 
client. How much of this is true, I don't know...

Best Regards

Hello,
        We will be moving to Exchange 2000 in the future. As far a I know 
at
this point TSM doesn't allow Brick level backup or restore.  How a is TSM
set for doing Disaster recovery of Mail server in AD? Does anyone have any
experience in doing this yet?
Thanks Tony
