Hy,
we have one backup server connetced trought fiber channel to a single san switch
and one msl6000 library connected trought fiber channel and one exchange server.
We purchased a SSO option to optimized backup perfomrance beacuse resulted low to backup the exchange mailbox and store.
On the exchange server is installed the exchange agent and we installed the SSO on the backup server but the backup speed wasen't change why????
Anyone can help me please...

thanks a lot

To use SSO I believe you have to make your Exchange server into a Backup Exec media server.
Even so, if you are backing up mailboxes, I think this will still be slow, as mailbox backups are notoriously slow.

SAN SSO is not necessary in case there is just one media server. If you want Exchange data to travel through the SAN, you must install Backup Exec server on the Exchange server as well as SAN SSO on both machines (the one you have right now and the Exchange server).

As i understand, i think Advance disk Based option (ADBO) offhost can be used for exchange backup.

That's it, Emanuele. Correct.

Offhost backup could also be used, but there are several requirements to make it work (Windows 2003 Datacenter or Enterprise, a snapshot provider, etc.).

I recommend you what you just said.

Sorry David , but i can't understand!!!
Are you telling me that i have to install a backup exec on a exchange server???
sorry but it's very important for me to understand the configuration i have a big problem to backup all the mailbox

Yes Emanuele. If you are to backup Exchange trough the SAN, you need Backup Exec server ti be installed on the Exchange server. And if there are more Backup Exec servers in the SAN, in order for all of them to share the libraries, you have to enter SAN SSO codes in all of them, when you are installing Backup Exec servers.
