Simon,
If you backup the entire IS as a database, if you want a single mailbox
restore, you will need a separate restore server. You have to restore
the entire IS to the restore exchange server, and extract the single
mailbox using Exmerge. The recovery mailbox server is to live in its own
domain. With Exchange 2003, there is no need for a separate restore
server, you can use the new Recovery Storage Group to restore the entire
IS to the same server, and recover the required mailbox using exmerge.

Jamie - an additional question.
With either NTBackup or BE with Exchange Agent, can I still
restore an individual mailbox if only do the standard Exchange option
and don't bother withe the Brick Level ?

RE: [exchangelist][Scanned]
To save further speculation let me clarify how to backup
exchange.
First remember that exchange is a database. You can get
a full backup of your server by taking exchange offline (stop the
services) and running a file level backup. Fortunately NTBackup is
exchange aware (provided you have the correct version for your version
of exchange) and will backup the database correctly while still online.
Then you have your third-party backup solutions like
BackupExec. By itself BE is not "exchange aware" and the exchange
services would need to be stopped to get a full backup. Note that the
open file option will NOT work on databases. Instead an "exchange agent"
is needed, and this will allow full online backups as well.
Also possible with an exchange agent is the
"brick-level" backup, or mailbox-by-mailbox. I guess this could be handy
if you have a large database and only need to restore one mailbox,
however most people prefer to extend the deleted mailbox retension time
in exchange than restore mailboxes. A good policy helps here, ie. keep
mailboxes for one month, then dump to .pst and delete FOREVER.
And as everyone will tell you, don't touch the M:. Don't
move files, don't virusscan, and don't backup. Ever.
Jamie.

Of course this is the way to backup the
whole store. And this is not the
best backup strategy. I use Veritas
Backupexec for these needs.

I'm interested to know whether you have
tested a restore of either mailboxes or complete Exchange Post Office
from just backing up c:\program files ....mdbdata folder(S) ? It begs
the question of why backup vendors sell backup agents for Exchange
servers...............
