    Backup Exec 2010 R3

    Have you tried a test backup to disk? That would help determine if the issue is with the tape drive (drivers, etc) or with the software. Also, make sure you install all the latest hotfixes, via Live Update. http://www.closedsocket.com

    Any user can edit members of all distribution lists

    Do not remove it. It is there for backwards compatibility reasons. You most likely can move folks out of the group tho, unless you have some really old systems or applications (pre-Active Directory)...

    Suggestion about antispam and antivirus for exchange

    Postini works great (it's a hosted product). The only drawback is that you won't be able to specify the mailstores, however, you can easily organize your users within the Postini interface to suit your needs. (It does not read AD hyerachy, however, so if you wanted to match your AD scheme, you...

    Other User's Folders being opened...

    Right click the Servername and select properties. From there, set Authenticated users to Read (and verify that this is set to overwrite child objects). http://www.closedsocket.com

    Backup Exec Newbie - Setting up a new backup scheme

    By default, if you set the job properties to append, it will continue to write to the first tape until it is full, then move to tape 2, until it is full. Based on you math, you could probably fit a weeks' worth of data on 2-3 tapes. In the media properties, however, you can set the overwrite...

    backup exec 10d roll back

    Try using the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility. This should remove some of the leftover settings that aren't always removed during a normal uninstall: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301 http://www.closedsocket.com

    Incremental Backups

    Hi John, Your job request is not for an incremental backup. Incrementals append data to the full backup, of files changes since last backup, but they do not overwrite data. In order to achieve objective A, you would need a new full backup job, which is set to overwrite. For what you are trying...

    Long Back Ups

    What are you backing up to (a local tape drive, a backup-to-disk folder, etc)? Since Server1 is your media server (Backup Exec host), it is expected that it will be much faster, since it does not need to transfer the data over the network, but transfers it directly to your backup media. Server2...

    Outgoing e-mail delayed until Exchange re-boot

    The updates are a good place to start. Have you enabled the Message Tracking Center? http://www.msexchange.org/tutorials/The_Exchange_Message_Tracking_Center_or_How_to_Save_Your_A_in_a_Pinch.html Once that's enabled, you can search for the emails by sender and see the steps that it's taken (when...

    files are corrupt

    First, you should backup that directory if you haven't already done so. Back it up to another drive or tape or removeable media (CD/DVD). Then, run a chkdsk on the drive to determine if the drive itself is failing, or if there is a problem with the files (did they originate on another machine?)...

    Host (A) Records

    You also need to enable Scavenging on records: http://technet2.microsoft.com/windowsserver/en/library/528aa0a4-e5b4-45da-9769-1d00ef636bb31033.mspx?mfr=true http://www.closedsocket.com

    Automatically Deleted Files on Local Drive

    A couple of possibilities: 1. Check your recycle bin 2. Is your My Documents folder remapped to a network share? If so, a logoff and logon may remap the share. 3. Tried a search of your harddrive, via Windows Search? http://www.closedsocket.com
