Anyone know of a cheap exchange aware backup solution for server 2008? I see the microsoft backup offering is no longer exchange aware :(

Something tells me this isn't supported. Have you tested to see if you can restore to an RSG yet?

of course it's not supported and no, I haven't tested a restore yet.

I know people who do the same thing in Vista. I would recommend an RSG restore just to make sure it works. I'm not bashing it, just being cautious.

I've actually never had to do a restore - I'll have to figure out how to do it... To test do I need a separate install of Exchange or can I restore to a different storage group or something?
