Hi One way of securing mails to a storage devices is to use IBM CommonStore for Exchange. This is actually a archiving product, but will let you store single mail/mailboxes on a storage device. You can also set the retention period, retain versions for CommonStore, so that if a mail is deleted, TSM will still hold the mail for a pre-set amount of days.
The products doing brick-level backup of Exchange doesn't use the MS Exchange backup API, rather the MAPI(Mail application programming interface). This means that if MS is to change something in Exchange, there is a good chance that backups and restores will fail, due to changes in the API. You can use the Veritas BackupExec client to do brick-level backup/restore of Exchange, and send the data to Tivoli Storage Manager. When installing BackupExec, there is an option called "ADSM option". Installing this, will create a separate dsm.opt file, located in BackupExec's program directory. BackupExec will then do filelevel or/and Exchange brick-level backup and restore. I don't know if the BackupExec client is to count as one Managed System for LAN. If so, there would be cheaper to buy one BackupExec client, than buying a TDP for Exchange.

Hi people ... Last Monday I installed the Tivoli Data Protection for Microsoft Exchange 2.2 in a Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5 I configured all the files and I can see the "Directory Information" and the "Storage Groups" as all. My question is: Is possible to make a backup only a one exchange base of one person, I need to make a backup to selective mailbox??? If the response is "yes" .. How do this, because only I can see as groups of all mailbox. Thank you very much for yours help, I appreciated that very much. Best Regards.
