In the GUI, select \microsoft exchange server\servername\microsoft information store. If you have multiple storage groups, just back up the first one and you'll get the public folders unless you've created additional public folder stores in the other storage groups. If you only want to backup public folders, move all the private mailbox stores out of the first storage group. Backup the system state & whatever files you like, too, if you so desire. Just stay away from the exchsrvr directories, logfile directories, and M: drive.

I'd like to make a backup of the exchange server. In fact, I'd like to have only the public folders. How should I do it? Which file should I backup? Note that the only backup tool that I have is NT Backup (that comes with Windows 2000)... Thanks for your informations... ____________________________________ Albert Charron Trisotech Inc.
