Re: Backing Up Public Folders
In order to backup public folders correctly, you need to have a vaild 'user'
account (with an Exchange account) assigned as Owner for each Public Folder.
Use that user's credentials when performin the backup. That's it.
BTW - Symantec recently changed their backups from 'Brick-Level' to
something called Granular backups. It's much faster and has, so far, worked
well for us. Microsoft hasn't approved these kind of backups because they
haven't purchased a company that knows how yet...
