We've just upgraded our Exchange server and one of the improvements was
to split the information store into 3 storage groups (only 2 contain
data that needs to be backed up though).  Each storage group has 2
stores.  Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can use this to
improve my mailbox backup performance?  An Information store backup of
about 95GB takes about 45 minutes.  The mailbox backups take about 20-30
hours.  Because of that I only do a mailbox backup once a month.  I was
thinking about trying concurrent backups ... but the Exchange
administrator does not think we'll get any better throughput but what if
I backup up one store every weekend?  How would I address that store in
the policy?  I use 5.1 MP4 and currently the Mailbox backup policy
Directive set is set to MS_Exchange_2000 and the Pathname or directive
is Microsoft Exchange Mailboxes:\.  

 

Thanks,

Mike Day
