Right.  Backing up the log files with the IS running is worthless.

If you are doing an online backup, why backup the log files?

NTBackup in XCH2K recognizes an Exchange Install as it does in NT4. So
if I backup System State, IS and DS through the Exchange Server Checkbox
and then the drive with the log files I should be all set for a full
restore no? The Exchange server folder on C:\ is all binaries right? I
have those on C:, logfiles on D: and the stores on E:. Anything I am
missing? I have never had to do a restore before but soon will have to
for DR "practice" pursposes. Besides documentation on all my settings
and options, am I missing anything all of you tried and true backup
gurus know of?

Did I mention I HATE BACKUPS!!

TIA

Chris
