We are currently migrating multiple servers to 2003. I currently backup multiple 5.5 systems using one tape drive but two different batch jobs and two different tapes.
We are using NT backup to backup production systems but I would like to backup 2 Exchange 2003 servers to a single tape using one job if possible. I currently have a BKS file created on the system with the tape drive that has the enclosed. C:\ C:\Documents and Settings\exchadmin\My Documents\ /Exclude C:\Documents and Settings\exchadmin\Desktop\EX2003SP1\ /Exclude JET UCMAIL6\Microsoft Information Store\First Storage Group\ JET UCMAIL6\Microsoft Site Replication Service\SRS Storage\ I thought that I could just use Notepad and add the second server to this BKS file to have it back up another server, but it doesn't seem to like it even though I rename back to a BKS it barfs. I guess my questions are can you edit a BKS file or is that not possible without affecting the attributes and the backup no longer recognizes it. Also can you backup two systems on a single pass or do I have to have two separate jobs running and do they have to be on separate tapes. I'm sure that you can backup another Exchange system from a tape drive located on a separate box like in 5.5? Thanks!
