We have been using Netvault for over a year on all of our other servers, and have been very impressed with it. However, as we all know, exchange is a different beast all together. I am going to be using the Exchange 2003 APM now, and am debating on whether to use the Exchange Mailbox backup piece (for Netvault). I want to stay away from 'brick level' backups (because I have heard to many horror stories). I am trying to determine if the Mailbox piece acts as a brick level or if it is separate from the Exchange 2003 APM full backups. This will also affect my estimates on the amount of Tapes that we need, and the type of backup (Full or Incremental) that I want to use. For those of you out there - what are your feelings on Incremental vs. Full backups for Exchange? I have always relied on Full backups for my Exchange 5.5 environment, but now with the Exchange 2003 environment, I have increased my user's mailbox limits and the backups will take up considerably more space on disk and Tape. Thanks for any input.

The backup and restore of normal windows servers is impressive, and the disaster recovery option is really really very good. We are currently testing the backup and (more important) the restore of a windows 2003 / exchange 2003 server... No results yet... Will post them when available.

If so, can you give me your opinion of it?
