Re: service startup after restore
-any good products for exchange 5.5 disaster recovery, to be able to recover
in shorter amounts of time including Microsoft articles
All you need is a Full Exchange database backup. You can then restore the
database up to point of failure.
-how exchange flushes logs, and if it is possible to do it manually to avoid
logs replay after IS restore
Exchange will flush the t-logs after a full online backup. Do not interfere
with the log files manually.
-if logs are proportioanl with amount of data as well, I understand they are
directly related to number of users
Transaction logs are not directly related to the amount of users.
Transaction logs are a record of all database operations in any given
period. Any database operation is considered a transaction so you cannot
directly link the amount of data in the t-logs with the amount of data in
the DB. (For example multiple update operations on a certain page in the DB
will not result in a proportionate DB growth)
Whay don't your company focus its resources and time on getting onto a
platform that is fully supported by Microsoft instead of wasting time in
devising complex Exchange 5.5 disaster recovery plans?
