Hi Skip,
 
Are you using SnapManager for Exchange? If so, then there is a new KB article on this topic which may be of interest. KB article 3990 is titled "Using SnapVault to Archive SnapManager for Exchange Backups Sets" and can be found on the NOW site. I think the paper details the solution that you are looking for.

Subject: replicating exchagne databse

Hi all

 

We have our exchange DB on a FAS 250. We take 3 snapshots of the logs and DB everyday. I want to know if I can replicate the most recent snapshot of the DB and logs to my R200, and if a disaster were to hit could I copy this DB back to the FAS 250 and mount it?

 

We use single mailbox recover version 2.11 to restore emails and inboxes. If point this product to the replicated exchange DB on the R200 It does work the product does read the DB and I can recover inboxes and emails. So I guess my question is a snapshot of a DB once moved off of a fAS250 to an R200 can it be remounted by snap manger for exchange once the DB is copied back to the FAS?

 

Thanks
