RE: [NF] Automating NTBackup
I'll check those links out tonight thanks Frederic. The backup is a very simple one its just two folders on the server containing application data and user files. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Frédéric Steczycki Sent: 12 November 2007 16:33 To: profox@leafe.com Subject: RE: [NF] Automating NTBackup Hard to answer w/o knowing what this server does...

RE: [NF] Automating NTBackup
I have been using BackupAssist for my LTO3 Tape Drive, but that may be overkill for you. BackupAssist is a wrapper around NTBackup, and makes it real easy to set up the automation. But, for a simple task like yours I would look at the Command Line Interface options available with NTBackup, then use Windows Task Scheduler to automate the tasks. Luckily with 2000 Server setting up the Scheduler is far easier than using the old DOS CLI interface with NT4 Server. I am on the road at the time, so I do not have access to my documentation re: the various options you can use with NTBackup and Task Scheduler. It is easy to work with for something like what you are planning to do, and can be used with a target hard drive or tape drive. If you find the research and hacking more time consuming than you like, I have found the BackupAssist app to be a tremendous value. They have add-on modules that allow you to back up SQL Server and Exchange Server files on-the-fly, and they support VSS if you are running it (2003 Server or XP only, with a few other limitations/requirements). The cool thing, besides the relatively low price, is they use NTBackup as the backup engine, and the NTBackup Restore process in its native form for file recovery. This means you do not need to have some proprietary software to get files from the target device holding the backed up files. Very nice solution. www.backupassist.com.
