This is absolutely not true. Exchange 2003 leverages the Shadow Copies service within Windows 2003 in order to take snapshot backups of Exchange.

The shadow copying feature in Windows 2003 is for the OS not for a database. To be clearer, you can use shadow copy for Windows or the OS not for the Exchange database. Hope this makes sense. We were in the same thought pattern as you and learned this wasn't going to work. Samantha -----Original Message----- From: Ajay Kulsh [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, June 23, 2004 8:42 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Shadow Copying of Exchange 2003 I need some enlightenment regarding Shadow Copying of Exchange 2003. I have read MS article - 822896 and some other references to understand shadow copying. What is not clear to me that if it takes typically only *about a minute* to create a shadow copy, how long does it normally take to write this data to a backup hardware? And while backup program is writing this, where is data kept? Memory cannot keep so much and I don't see any hard drive space requirements mentioned. Can shadow copying of Exchange 2003 only work with backup like SAN, not normal tape drive?
