Hello World !I have a problem with my Exchange 2003 server. I manage 500 user's box (+600 Go of datas for 5 years). There are no local save on computer clients, but mail are stored on file servers. The messaging system is running fast and ok. My question is about saving:Before, I used ArcServe with Exchange backup Agent and the saving process was about 3 or 4 days. So, I tried NTBackup (native system and exchange backup) and the saving backup process is about 1 day. But, when I try to restore saves, it's not ok (many errors). So, I want to find a good solution of backup for exchange 2003 (backup, restore, archiving): I thnk to third party tools or MS DPM ...In the future, I want to migrate to another Exchange Messaging System like 2007, but it seem that there is a new Exchange 2010. When Exchange 2010 will be available ? Thanks for advance for your ideas / help - Regards - Have a nice day ! RHUM2

Hi,You can go for MS DPM, which will also be really good with your exchange server 2010 if you are upgrading.Exchange 2010 is released and available. It is really good :).http://msexchangeteam.com/archive/2009/11/09/453096.aspxhttp://www.microsoft.com/exchange/2010/en/us/why-upgrade.aspxDownload link: Microsoft Exchange Server 2010http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=05741f65-2a7b-4070-879f-d74208d6171d- Nagesh

Hello,DPM is a great tool for backup/restore your Exchange, please check the following site for more information: http://www.microsoft.com/systemcenter/dataprotectionmanager/en/us/protect-exchange.aspx If you would like to use the third party solution, it's also OK. A related KB: Microsoft support policy for third-party products that modify or extract Exchange database contents http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/904845 We recommend you use DPM. For Windows NTBackup, if you need any help, you're also welcomed to write a new post for it. Exchange 2010 is released for few months, you can refer to the articles provided by Nageshk. Thanks, Elvis
