hi all, can anyone help me with the following scenario: sbs4.5 exch 5.5 sp4 tape drive has failed and I'm waiting for a new one to replace it. However, as I've had to test the tape drive to make sure that it really is knackered and not anything else, consequence is that there has been no decent backup of exchange data. i've re-read the wp on disaster and recovery planning and also the wp on disaster recovery which was kind of useful but as have no tape drive or hot spare then I've decided to stop the services and copy the relevant files (*.edb/ *.dir/ *.log/etc) to a network drive. However, I don't think I've got the syntax right for xcopy (would include it but haven't got it with me) and also I scheduled it to run at 23.00 but had error saying did not start - not sure why yet. Should I be using xcopy or should I use plain copy? Has anyone got any tips or syntax for copy - my programming skills (yes even for batch files) are virtually non existent... Am I missing anything? Could anyone replying cc [EMAIL PROTECTED] thank you very much Rob
