Looking for a backup solution for a large enterprise Exchange server
Hello, I'm looking for a backup solution for an Exchange server 2010 with over 500 mailboxes. We are a multinational company, and our exchange server mail servers are based in London. I'm looking for a solution that would allow me to backup individual emails on the exchange servers. Currently we backup at block level, meaning we have to restore the entire Exchange databases before we can recover the data. This isn't acceptable, so we need to get something in place that allows us to restore individual emails. Any suggestions? Thanks
...are you looking at a hardware appliance (because you logged this in the 3600 Appliance forum) or software like Backup Exec (which the appliance runs anyway).
GRT backups of Exchange ALWAYS stage to disk if you do this particular backup to tape. Doing it to disk means that there is no staging required.
The 3600 Appliance has built-in deduplication meaning your backup data will be compressed and duplicate data edited out, making backups smaller, and eventually faster.
Otherwise, BE installed on a media server can do the same thing.
Thanks!
