Ed, I have online backups done nightly using ntbackup on Windows 2000, the online backup is done to a dedicated disk, the file on disk is then streamed to tape later on when the "normal" filesever backups are done.
Problem I'm seeing is that when you load the online backup file into ntbackup it simply recognizes "Directory" and "Information Store" objects, you don't appear to be able to select which store you want to restore, unless I'm misinterpreting something. regards, Paul ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ed Crowley" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Exchange Discussions" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, September 18, 2003 9:43 PM Subject: Re: Recovering 5.5 pub.edb from online backup done with Windows 2000 ntbackup > You don't have an online backup?
