To do a MailBox backup, Exchange Client/Outlook must be installed on the
backup server.

If you are just setting this up, take a look at
http://mail.tekscan.com/nomailboxes.htm for a discussion of why they are
not recommended. And also scan this newsgroup to see how many people
are suprised at what actually gets restored or doesn't.

Most who try a mailbox restore seem to have problems.

Hi Steve,

yes you must have installed a Mapi Client (outlook) on the Backup Server.
As well take care, that both Server (Exchange and Backupserver) has the same
Service Packe (if possible). As well you must create a Mailbox for the Backupexecuser
and must be log on to the Backup Server with this User Account.

Regards Jan
