Re: [Networker] A set of Questions

Dear Paul,

Sorry to get back so late about this answer

Could you tell me what the throughput of the MB backup is for your environment 
and with this setting

We are getting max 2 MB throughput on Mailbox backups

Thanks in advance

 Yes - It basically dumps each mailbox to a temporary .pst file (one at
a time), then backs them up....

  Yes - with a -p option in the 'backup command' field of apps/modules
tab of the client config. Here is one we use:
 nsrxchsv.exe -I "C:\\Program Files\\Legato\\nsr\\bin\\im02-mb.txt" -p
"E:\\Temp"
  - which reads the list of mailboxes to backup from the im02-mb.txt
file and uses E:\Temp for a work area...

  We always use the -I option to point to a file that lists the
mailboxes to be backed up. The format of that file is:
MSEXCH:MB/Lastname, Firstname
