I'd recommend a single server with its own tape drive or tape library. Also, if your network is small, and not 24x7, then you can script services to stop and restart as appropriate.
I don't use open file managers, and although I am not disparaging their robustness or stability, I don't agree with the concept in principle. Plus they add cost. DTC is the distributed transaction coordinator, most often associated with SQL. http://www.ultratech-llc.com/KB/?File=Backups.TXT ASB http://www.ultratech-llc.com/KB -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Jumlong Sent: Friday, December 13, 2002 4:01 AM To: NT 2000 Discussions Subject: Backup Strategy Questions I have questions: 1. For 3-5 servers, should I buy a tape drive for each server and perform the backup separately or use one or two servers to do the job ? 2. In latter case, how can I recover the servers with no tape drive ? 3. Some services keep files open, should I shut-down these files/services b4 backup: - Trend ServerProtect - MSDTC.LOG, don't know what it is - Files in c:\winnt\ntfrs\jet... - Files in c:\winnt\registration\... - DHCP, WINS services - NETLOGON.CHG ?? As always, thank you. Jumlong ------ You are subscribed as [email protected] Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
