My Backup exec 2010 r2 does not seem to be able to recover separate mails from exchange

Hello,

 

We have Backupexec 2010 r2 and the exchange 2003 agent installed, i see that the complete store is backed up to disc but when i try to restore a certain mail,

i cannot grab it from the store.  In a previous version of Backupexec i could do that.

 

Can anyone help me with the correct settings for this ?

 

Thanks in advance

 

Eddy

Hi Eddy,

 

2 things:

1. If you use AOFO in your job, turn it off and try running a backup and then a restore and see if you can see the individual files.

2. Duplicate the backup set to disk using my article below, and then try the restore:

https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/articles/restoring-exchange-or-individual-mailboxesitems-using-backup-exec-howto

Also, BE 2010 R3 should be on your radar for a free upgrade. You can use your existing licenses so there is no need to upgrade them. Just grab copies of your Data/Catalogs folders before doing the upgrade, and then after the upgrade, run LiveUpdate to install SP2 and any additional patches. Then push-install them to any remote sites.

Grab the ISO from here:

http://trialware.norton.com/files/fc/Backup_Exec_2010_13.0.5204_MultiPlatforms_Multilingual_DVD.iso

Thanks!

Hello Craig,

I did not get a chance yet to go to the R3 yet, i've downloaded it but i need the time to implement this.

I was focussing on getting my data back, i could get most of it back :)

i made a full backup yesterday and it stopped on the exchange.

Craig these are my current settings, but i want to do a full backup with the possibility to restore single mails.

after the full backup i want to switch to incremental to save space on the nas.

kind regards,

Eddy

Eddy: Those settings are fine, but check the Advanced Open File section and see if AOFO is selected.

If so...

1. Either turn it off for the whole job;

2. Split your Exchange backup and data backup from each other.

Thanks Craig,

I will do so, a seperate backup of exchange with AOFO off and the files backup with AOFO on.

Thanks, i will let you know the result.

Hello Craig,

Can you have a look at my setting please, am i not missing something ?

 

Is Microsoft Information Store the only thing to select ?

Thanks in advance,

Eddy

ok, cause i was looking at a restore command and i see 2 more options there

 

Microsoft Exchange Mailboxes and Microsoft Public Folders.

Thats what i was expecting to find in the backupsettings aswell.

Why am i confused ?

Craig,

I checked the backed up files and was able to restore them one by one.

Perfect.

I will go to R3 :) to complete the exercise.

Thanks

Server 2000 is supported for a RAWS installation, so install that (you might need to buy a license if you don't have enough) manually via the TN below or via a push-install:

...moved your new query to the thread below:

https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/forums/raws-windows-2000

But consider stopping any AV running on that server, and make sure it is up to SP4 for Windows 2000 Server with Roll Up 1.
