Re: [Veritas-bu] Exchange off-host backup options

Tal,

If you have EMC equipment, have you thought of taking BCV snaps of your exchange systems and then backing up the BCVs? We use replication manager with this to schedule a backup job to kick off after the BCV mounts and then dismount the volume after the backup job is finished so it can do the next exchange server. Restores are really easy as well, especially using Quests Exchange Recovery Manager.

HTH,

Phil.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Exchange off-host backup options

Hi Guys

Anyone done any exchange off-host backups?

I am looking for some information regarding Netbackup options for Microsoft exchange.
I have been doing some investigating in what options we have when using the netbackup advanced client with the netbackup Microsoft exchange agent - specifically for performing an off-host backup

It seems we can only use Storage foundation's Flashsnap feature to mount the exchange db on another netbackup client (not a windows media server)

I want to know if I have any other options or if this is all we can do from a netbackup level while still performing an exchange backup (hence using the ms exchange api)

We are using EMC storage so the option to use timefinder with the exchange option is there but I am concerned there could be issue (as the mapi is not used as in netbackup) e.g. mailbox backups or alternate server recoveries etc

Regards
Tal
