Naw, it's still there, you just can't backup Exchange directly - you have to create a selection file for it.
The simplest way to see what you need is to run ntbackup, pick your Exchange stores, then tell ntbackup to schedule the job instead of running it now. Ntbackup will prompt you to save the selection file. Go to "Control Panel", "Scheduled Tasks" and examine the run string for the backup job you just created. That, and "ntbackup /?" will show you all you need to know. There are some other gotcha's with NT backup from a command line - like it's sometimes too stupid to look and see if there is a tape in the drive. See Q267574 for the gory details... A caveat: I *think* ntbackup selection files are unicode (log files definitely are), so use notepad to edit them. -----Original Message----- From: Ed Crowley [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Saturday, October 05, 2002 1:37 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Command line Backup of Ex2k I think it's gone. But you don't need it as much because NTBACKUP now has a basic scheduler.

Can't use ntbackup /IS "servername" anymore. I know to use the systemstate parameter, but don't know how to get the IS storage groups backed up. _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
