Thanks to everyone and MSKB[1], I now have backups that I KNOW are good.
Next step now, is to learn how to fix Exchange. I know there are a few
million ways to break Exchange, but what would be the best for learning the
repair tools in a lab environment?
The hardware stuff 'should' be straight-forward. Break it - ID it - Repair/
Replace/ Restore - Reboot.
The software and DB corruption would need to be more careful to avoid
getting into a 'Restore is only option' situation.
Any Ideas?
Thanks
John

Subject: RE: NTBackup
Our bat file reads: "ntbackup backup z:\exchsrvr\tracking.log DS \\curly IS
\\curly /b /hc:on /t Normal /l C:\winnt\backup.log
ntbackup eject
z:\exchsrvr is because we are a clustered enviroment, hence Larry, Moe,
Curly, Curly being the virtual node, Larry and Moe are the actual nodes.
Our only problem has been lately is that our store has exceeded tape
capacity, and we have to click on "OK" the next morning to finish up the
backup on the next tape.
sorry, no haiku.

Subject: NTBackup
Iron Chef Haiku [1]
Subtle textures not seen here
And no steeenking rhymes
ntbackup rules
I should say in most cases
Small vexing problem
on just one server
all drives don't go on one tape
space not the issue
when each drive is done
wants new tape for the next drive
command line follows
ntbackup backup c: d: e: ds \\server is \\server /v /r /b /e /l
"d:\backup\backup.log" /hc:on /t normal
/v verify
/r restricts access
/b backs up local registry
/e log includes exceptions only
/l backup log filename
/hc:on Hardware compression on
/t normal (full) backup
not using the slash-a
backup acts like it is there
three drives specified
/a
Causes backup sets to be added or appended after the last backup set on the
tape. When /a is not specified, the program overwrites previous data. When
more than one drive is specified but /a is not, the program overwrites the
contents of the tape with the information from the first drive selected and
then appends the backup sets for the remaining drives.
Exchange alone works
Combination doesn't work
Drives alone bite too
NTSP6
Ex55Sp4
hotfixes as well
makes no difference
running comand line or bat
any help out there?
Thanks,
Paul
