I've been told by my co-workers that you can't restore to the normal
Exchange restore group if you do a FlashBackup backup. So unless you're
doing your backups only for disaster recovery and will always restore only
the whole thing, FlashBackup isn't the answer.
All that said, we get excellent performance from our Exchange hosts without
using FlashBackup.

I also noticed you can run flashbackup for "Exchange Database". Is that
logical to do?
Best regards,

It depends on the average size of the TIFF images. If they're all little
files (which our TIFF files are), then definitely yes, FlashBackup will
help.
For us, a FlashBackup typically cuts the backup time in half and
significantly reduces the load on the system being backed up.
You do individual file restores just like you do regular file restores.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] FlashBackup-Windows
When should FlashBackup be used? I have a Windows Box that I backup daily
that has a volume with about 330GB of tiff images. Would FlashBackup be a
better option than a regular Windows-NT policy taking into mind that I
regularly restore individual tiff images?
Best regards,
Anas
