Many thanks for all your replies to my question. Been having A look on the Veritas website. Do you need to purchase the Exchange agent or will BackupExec do the job on it's own. I assume there would be extra functionality from the agent But is it necessary. Also if you are running advanced server Do you need the advanced server version of BackupExec or is That also just for extra features ????? -----Original Message----- From: Jack Spradling [mailto:JACK@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: 25 June 2002 16:48 To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] RE: Backup Exchange 2000 http://www.MSExchange.org/ - Re-Vamped! Veritas BackupExec 8.6 gives the administrator the ability to restore a piece of mail, a whole mailbox or many mailboxes. This function makes BE worth every cent. -----Original Message----- From: Rosser, Richard (Exchange) [mailto:richard.rosser@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, June 25, 2002 9:43 AM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] Backup Exchange 2000 http://www.MSExchange.org/ - Re-Vamped! I know you can backup databases/information stores, but can you restore mailboxes separately? -----Original Message----- From: Luke Marioni [mailto:lmarioni@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, June 25, 2002 10:35 AM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] RE: Backup Exchange 2000 http://www.MSExchange.org/ - Re-Vamped! im currently testing veritas backupexec 8.6 with the e2k agent it seems to be very good, allowing you to do brick level restores etc as good as any i think! -----Original Message----- From: Ian Roberts [mailto:Ian@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: 25 June 2002 14:53 To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] Backup Exchange 2000 http://www.MSExchange.org/ - Re-Vamped! I've been told there are limitations or problems backing up Exchange 2000 using only Windows backup that comes with the OS. Can anyone please tell me the best software to use to back up Exchange 2000. ------------------------------------------------------ You are currently subscribed to this MSExchange.org Discussion List as: lmarioni@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send a blank email to $subst('Email.Unsub') ------------------------------------------------------ You are currently subscribed to this MSExchange.org Discussion List as: richard.rosser@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send a blank email to $subst('Email.Unsub') ------------------------------------------------------ You are currently subscribed to this MSExchange.org Discussion List as: jack@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send a blank email to $subst('Email.Unsub') ------------------------------------------------------ You are currently subscribed to this MSExchange.org Discussion List as: Ian@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send a blank email to $subst('Email.Unsub')
