Online Backup, Brick Level Exchange (online or off)

[marley1]

Talk to me, I have yet to find a real online backup that I am 100% happy with.

Right now use Mozy Pro and Intronis. Intronis is better at Mozy then backing up Exchange, does brick level, but still looking at something else.

Then off line is there a good way/cheap way to backup Exchange Brick Level into PST?

Any good solutions for hosting a online backup?

Exmerge is free, here is a decent guide.

My question about what seems like your quest to have brick level backup for exchange is first, what version of exchange are you using? What type of things are you trying to to recover from when using mailbox level backup specifically?

Solutions for hosting an online backup. Well I have to pimp the software the company I work for makes. Our software will not do brick level backup, so if that is a 100% need you will have to look at others.

I was approached by Zenith Infotech about becoming a partner to sell their backup solution. Looks pretty decent on paper. A bit pricey since they require you to buy the hardware (which you pass on to the client). But it does allow you to virtualize the host server from the backups in case the host server goes down.

Their current gen bdr's are pretty good, some funky issues every now and then. We are more so moving away from them due to finding a better solution (One we built)

If you want very good exchange brick level restore capability, look at ontrack power controls.
