Backing up Individual Exchange Mailboxes with Backup Exec 8.6

[hussaiz]

Hi

I recently installed Backup Exec 8.6 SBS (with exchange agent). I am running Exchange 2000 but can't seem to back up individual mailboxes. I get an error in the log file that states "Access denied" to the mailboxes.

I can however backup the Exchange Information store. Stupid question - If the exchange server fails and I need to restore will the "information store" allow me to restore individual mailboxes or will they be lost. If so please advise how I can back them up.

The information store holds all mailboxes, the only advantage of backing up individual mailboxes as well is that this gives you the option of just restoring one or two mailboxes as required. With the information store you have to restore all the mailboxes.

If it doesn't leak oil it must be empty!!

Their is a fix for that on the Veritas web site knowledge base for brick level backups.
