Yahya, If it is within the same domain, you might have trouble. You also didn't state whether you were running Exchange 5.5 or Exchange 2000. They each have their own issues involved with alternate server restores.
Keep in mind there is the "/FROMEXCSERVER=servername" option to allow TDP for Exchange to query/restore the backups from a different server. The issue becomes more of what the Exchange Server will allow. Please refer to the documentation in the User's Guide for "Advanced Restore Procedures". Also, for Exchange 2000, Microsoft has some good information here: www.microsoft.com/Exchange/techinfo/deployment/2000/E2Krecovery.asp Thanks, Del ---------------------------------------------------- Del Hoobler IBM Corporation [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Never cut what can be untied. - Commit yourself to constant improvement. ========================================================= > We have TDP for MS Exchange Version 2.2.
