Backup/Restore Exchange2003 (with Brightstor)

[FISI]

Hallo,

finally we would like to switch, in december, from Exchange5.5 to Exchange2003.
For Backup/Restore we use Brightstor ARCserve 9.01(Build 2020).

I heard that Exchange2003 comes on board with some special recovery Tools.

Can anyone explain what kind of tools these are ?
What did they do ?

I think that these tools are for "a restore of a runnig system"
and for a desaster recovery i have to use ARCserve ...

Thank you

Well, special i do not know, but you have the Storage Recovery Groups.

You can read more about this technology over here at Microsoft

On another note regarding Brightstore. We're using Brightstore 9 too. However, not without any problems. It backs up the IS, but bricklevel is causing headaches. Some mailboxes are being backed up and others not. The next day none are backed up.
