For Exchange, I recommend daily Normal. No incrementals and no differentials. Incremental and differential backups don't do the same things in Exchange that they do in file backups.
As to your original question, explain what you mean when you "try to restore a file".

That still doesn't solve the mystery of "no entry found" :-) Thanks Raj -----Original Message----- From: Ed Crowley [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, July 11, 2002 12:38 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Exchange Backup Don't bother with differentials. They only back up the logs and will make your restoration more difficult.

However once the backup is complete if I attempt to restore a file there is no data to be found, the "no entries found" message is displayed under all folders. The only error I see is event ID 8001 which does not throw any light at all, Any ideas , TIA Raj ************************************************************************ **** **This e-mail message, including any attachments, contains information that is confidential, may be protected by the attorney/client or other applicable privileges, and may constitute non-public information.
