Meridian Mail Backup

[Sooperbohl]

We have a site with a Meridian Mail system. We need to do a back up on a system that has 80 active mailboxes. We have two DC6525 Data cartridges. I am wondering if that will be enough for this system? I understand there are two types of backups that can be ran. One a bootable backup and two only the mailbox data. Is this correct? Advice is always appreciated.

should be using 6250 tapes to get it all on there.

Never heard of a bootable back up tape for Meridian Mail. The 6250 was from the earlier versions of MM. The newer MM came with a 2 gig tape, seems like over kill for some MM systems.

for a 2 node system you need the bigger tapes

It's not getting any smarter out there. You have to come to terms with stupidity, and make it work for you.
