I don't use ntbackup, but does it backup Exchange? You could use it the other end to backup the backup file you copy over.
No problems with it, except for the above... It's a fairly standard process for backing up remote sites/servers.

Long Sent: 31 August 2004 15:12 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [ActiveDir] OT: Server backup Is it acceptable to backup to local disk (using NTbackup) and then copy that file to a machine with a tape drive, and back that backup file up to tape? Example: 1. Backup an Exchange Server locally 2. Copy that backup file to a machine with a tape drive 3. Backup that file to tape I would be doing this for both an Exchange Server, and my DCs. This is my only option to get this stuff onto tape, so I hope it is acceptable. What problems my I run into?
