I've actually not done a RSG type restore (thank goodness), but my
understanding is that it's for complete disaster recovery only.  What we
do here for those ID10T errors is keep a virtual server running that we
can restore an entire message store to and then play the export to pst
and import to live mailbox game.  For us brick level backups are not
feasable, there simply is not enough hours in the day.
 
I'd like to hear how others that are serving several thousands of users
are handling this.  Would you be willing to share your DR documentation
with us?
 
Thanks,

Sorry for jumping in,

Damn this is much more work to do. What about if a user comes in 3 weeks
asking for mail he has shift+delete by mistake. Can we do single email
recovery in this method?

This is an easy one.
Stop backing up mailboxes. You just need to backup the mailbox stores
(public and private).

 

Then read up on Recovery Storage Groups.

Hi All

 

I have inherited a SBS 2003 server running veritas Backup Exec 9.1

 

 

The veritas software backs up some but not all of the contents of the
users mail boxes.

 

Access is denied to calendar items and also random messages in the In
Box and Sent Items.

 

 

Veritas is running with the correct admin rights and can access the mail
boxes and back up most but not all items.

 

 

Any thoughts appreciated.
