@wirestyle22
Just curious, how long does it take your Exchange to start serving mail when you restart it for updates/changes/etc?

My guess, about 45mins after the windows login

@thanksajdotcom said in What did you have for lunch or dinner today?:

....hungry but also broke... And hoping to buy a car this weekend..

How does that work? If you have money for a downpayment, I would choose food and delay car another half month or month.

You're sounding like my love life

Do I need to lead a "Dating 101" seminar at MC 2017???

Been on plenty of dates. I have learned the 101. It is just the year of ganging up against me.

I dont know about speed, but i do know from my previous xp with Veeam that it is a great product. I was never not able to do restores of exchange (vm/brick level) at my last job. It was really quick to restore individual mailbox items and deleted-on-accident contacts without issue. It also provides central backup and restore services for you entire virtual infrastucture, something WSB and Cobian cant.

Yeah I know it's good, but my issue is I can't bog down the server for 3 days again until the weekend. I'd like to resolve this sooner, but I'm kind of stuck.

Bog it down for 3 days or trying to recover it with the massive log file db?

That is word for word what I said to my boss. I don't have deciding power though

What if that massive log file gets corrupt when you go down? Then you are burned even more.
Have you measured the strain it puts on it? IF you use an enterprise backup product, will he even notice? You brought up the concerns, but you feel it is the best move. You know the environment, you know what it can handle. Your ass is on the line, even though you told mgt.

It's not my job on the line. My boss just asked me to take a look at it for a second pair of eyes and that was my conclusion. I'm not the server administrator but I've solved a few server issues so far. I'm of the opinion that getting aggressive with my employer is just burning bridges. I let them learn it themselves and cover my ass with e-mails and paperwork.

Oh, well in that case...

Nobody wants me.....

Do you have the ability to setup a temp server and setup something like Veam, BackupExec, etc... in trial mode that are exchange aware just to trunk the logs and still use your target media?

Good call. Install Veeam B&R in trial mode, make a full backup to any media you got, even a USB HDD.

Once it all truncates, let your normal backup kick off again.

Surely he has an old server laying around, hell, even leave windows in trial mode, and buy a USB drive that is at least double the databases or more. It is cheaper than a outage i bet.
