Hey guys,
I have an Exchange 2K3 server running on a poweredge with Win Server 2K3 standard. I’m using Veritas Backup Exec 9.1 on a Powervault SDLT library to backup all the data on my network. I have two seperate backup jobs just to handle Exchange. One job does a file level backup of anything I might need to restore the server. the second job does a brick level backup of the mail boxes. Maybe a little over kill, but it makes the occational e-mail restore much easier.
I’ve noticed that my mailbox backup will occationally say it failed(eventhough it didn’t) when a user gets a corrupt e-mail on his/her mailbox. I then have to go through the process of getting him/her to delete and completely remove that e-mail from their mailbox. I have about 50 users so this is not an all consuming task.
But I’m wondering how companies with 100s and 1000s of users handle such things? I doubt my method would be very efficient for larger organizations. Can someone clue me in on how those companies handle their e-mail backups and restores?
Thanks,
Mike
