Back up to disk and then you can spin a backup of the disk file anytime. If cost is a problem, pop in one of those big, cheap SATA drives for the backup space.
Ed Crowley MCSE+Internet MVP Freelance E-Mail Philosopher Protecting the world from PSTs and Bricked Backups!T -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Neil Doody Sent: Wednesday, January 03, 2007 4:21 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Full/Incremental or Differential backups of exchange databases Okay, I just want to gauge feedback on the various types of backup for exchange. In every place I have worked I have always recommended only doing full backups on a daily basis to clear down the logs and ensure we have multiple sets of fully recoverable databases, it just seems the safer option to me and I always recommend against anything else. In my current project they are saying the backups take to long so a suggestion has been made for differentials. I am looking to get professional opinions on the various types of backup ideas so I can put a formal case forward with my recommendations. Any advice would be great. Cheers.
