Recovering Exchange Users e-mail in 2013
Planning an Exchange 2013 Server.
Currently running 2003.
Have had a few users lately claim missing e-mail.
I had to restore a backup onto another server to check for lost e-mails.\
I need a much better way of retrieving e-mails for a specified user going forward. Do I need better backup software or what should I do?

DIR - Deleted Item Retention.
If you want to ensure that you have a copy of everything despite users attempts to remove them then you are asking the wrong questions - a backup isn't going to help there.
You need to look at either a journaling product, so the content is caught as it passes through transport, or using the legal hold functionality in Exchange so that the content is still stored even if it is flushed out of all places available to the user.

Server will be running on Hyper-V. Backed up to External HDD. Would Veam allow recovery of specific users only?
Simon Butler (Sembee),
What's DIR. Is that the deleted file recovery built into Outlook? If they can flush that out, what software can I use to back that up automatically to prevent having to go into backups? I want a solution that I can fell secure that I have access to all e-mails regardless of users attempts to destroy them.
