Wrong, again. One word: NTBackup. Regardless of the free backup software included with Windows, if you have been mis-informed and think that you *need* 3rd party backup software, well, the Exchange backup agents are a couple of hundred dollars. Pretty cheap when you consider the value of corporate email these days -- but like I say, they are not necessary; read the Exchange Backup & Restore Guide. > By contrast under UNIX, you can use tar to backup the /var/mail > directories and you can definitely restore an individual mailbox > if you want to. Yup, but you do not know Exchange, so stop talking about it. ...D
