Hello Networkers, We have a mystic thing when backing up mailboxes. The backup runs OK but after it completes it starts over again. Has anyone seen this? Networker server is w2003 and NW 7.1.3 and cl
A number of bugs were fixed in Exchange module v4.1. It puzzles me that Legato still hasn't put this out for distribution, but if you call support you can get it. Once we upgraded, a number of proble

Hi Hans, I was surprised to hear that anybody is using NetWorker to do mailbox backups, it's far too slow for us to use - our setup is NW server 7.1.2. under Solaris 8, Exchange 2000 (400 mailboxes)

Well our Solaris 9 server takes 6 hours to backup only 55 mailboxes on a windows 2003 server . Processed 169466 items 6989 MB in 5:46:27 344338 bytes/second I would give up my job if we put all are u
What is your parallelism for these backups set to? Even at 330K/sec, you should get around 4GB/hour of the backup. We get around 800K/sec doing bricklevel backups (Exchange 2003, Windows 2003, NW Mod

Look at the utility "Microsoft Exchange Mailbox Merge Program", EXMERGE. If you have diskspace over on the mailserver you could run this application to export the mailboxes to PST files and then do a

This is exactly what the NetWorker Module for Exchange does when backing up mailboxes. Whether you do this under control of NME or whether you schedule it yourself in some way, it's still going to be

I do not backup the PST files or do bricklevel backups of the mailserver. But it is handy to do a recover of "lost" emails. EXMERGE for Exchange 2000 is multithreaded so I think it is faster than Leg

I checked and the parallelism was set to 4, so I will increase that, but will it make a difference. Will networker do multiple mailbox backups at the same time with "MSEXCH:MB" since I thought it wil
We only backup a subset of users, and we specifiy each as a separate saveset (you can also use an external file to specifiy it). The important thing is to watch during the backup. I see each mailbox

Andrew, I've just done a test with client parallelism set to 8, it made absolutely no difference. It's extracting mailboxes on the Exchange server that holds everything up. Best Regards, Vince Vince

Matthew, I used MSEXCH:MB. We have 400 mailboxes, too many to list. Best Regards, Vince Vince Howard Programmer/UNIX System Administrator IT Section Wansbeck District Council Front Street West Bedlin
Perhaps it would be possible to use ADSI to script the list of all mailboxes into a file in a batch script and setup it to run as a pre-job, and then use the file option of the nsrxchsv.exe to use th

NETWORKER AT LISTSERV.TEMPLE DOT EDU Hello Vince et al, We have tried to make scheduling of MSEXCH:MB backups a little easier in Exchange Module 4.1 by providing a basic 'wildcard' function combined

Scott, When using an input file to list mailboxes for backup, what do you enter in the "save set" attribute (I'm using MSEXCH:MB)? Also, I'm getting the following messages and nothing gets backed up.

Hello Vince, This feature is new for Exchange Module 4.1 -- are you at that version? If so, please take a look at the nsrxchsv.log file on the Exchange Server (in the ...nsr\applogs folder) to see if

We are performing MB backups here as well and I would agree that Legato NW is slower than bat guano on a hot day in July! Our setup: Windows 2003 Server Windows NW 7.2 At the HQ level where we have j
