Boot off a w2k3 CD and run a repair(?)

 

Is this something that happens frequently? I'd suspect hardware issues if so.

2) Then how do I do an emergency boot if the boot files are corrupted?

1. Yes, you should be backing up your DCs and Exchange from Backup Exec. You’ll need to license the remote agent for each machine you want to backup and then push it out from the Tools>Serial Numbers/Installation menu in BE. For the DCs, System State backup is ample. For Exchange, you need to grab the MS Information Store and System State.

2. No…

3. Not sure what it grabs, honestly.

Thanks,

We currently have four file servers, two domain controllers, and one exhange 2003 server(all on Windows 2003). Three questions:

1)I  have Veritas Backup Exec 10 which is backing up only the file servers.  Is it a good idea to have Backup Exec backup my domain controllers and Exchange server as well  or should those be done another way?

2)If I used Backup Exec to backup exchange and the DCs, do I stil need to do ASR for the emergency floppy disks. If so what do I do with the 2GB ASR files that ASR creates and that I assume I need in an emergency.

3)Does ASR backup everything that needs to be backed up on a domain controller?

thanks
