Jeff,
Do you see a significant increase in time when doing the GRT backup?

The GRT restores (at least in Exchange 2010) don’t require NFS on the Windows server but do require a storage device to send the backups
to which can NOT be a deduplication appliance. In our environment we have disks allocated to our Linux master server and do the GRT backup to those disks via the storage unit defined in NBU.
The GRT backups allow for granular (i.e. single mailbox) restores as opposed to restoring the whole Exchange backup. We do both the
GRT and the full backup. The full backup allows for restore in case our entire Exchange DB gets hosed. You aren’t required to do GRT if you don’t want to do single mailbox restores.

Hi to all.
We’re a brand new NetBackup site.. converting from another backup solution entirely.
Basic stuff going well, got windows, solaris, HP-UX, linux clients all happily backing up.
Now on to the “harder” stuff! We are currently running Exchange 2007, so I started reading the “NetBackup for Microsoft Exchange Server
Administrator’s Guide” and my eyes kind of glazed over.
It seems to me there are like 4 different kinds of backups for Exchange.. that GRT (Granular Recovery) that seems to need NFS for windows
(UGH), snapshot backups, Instant Recovery backups, and MAPI backups. Is there a document that succinctly explains these and the differences? What method of backup for Exchange do most NetBackup installations employ?
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
