Quick question re backup
Using exch 2000 sp3 with backupexec 8.6 for sbs2000: If I am backing up the microsoft information store but not microsoft exchange mailboxes or the M: drive then there is no point in backing up program files\exchsrvr is there? Or should I still backup the program files\exchsrvr directory but deselect the mdb data directory? I thought I had set up the backup procedure so that I wasn't doing BLB's but I had to examine the procedure closely as I am having trouble getting all our data onto a 40/80gb dltIV tape with hardware compression enabled (otherwise software). I've had a look at the faq and had a good search around the archives etc but cannot find a definitive answer on this.

RE: Quick question re backup
Along with martin I might ask... 1.) Umm What is your total Drive capacity? 2.) Of the total capacity how much is in use? 3.) IF say IN USE is say =/less then 40/80GB I would think it should fit. Note: Remember compression is a funny thing and often is not going to work the way you may think...i.e. somethings just dont compress..kinda 4.) have you worked with your block size in BE for the tape drive..etc..Ive found that can make a big diff in performance..etc... 5.) What is and is not backing up...I think maybe some more details might help others reading your post here. 6.) Is the box only exchange or is it say file and rpint too.??? 2 cents bill -Original Message- From: Martin Blackstone [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, March 26, 2003 7:58 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Quick question re backup How big are the stores? -Original Message- From: Rob Hackney [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, March 26, 2003 2:55 AM To: Exchange Discussions Using exch 2000 sp3 with backupexec 8.6 for sbs2000: If I am backing up the microsoft information store but not microsoft exchange mailboxes or the M: drive then there is no point in backing up program files\exchsrvr is there?

RE: Quick question re backup
Do not back up M: as it can corrupt the store. Do not back up exchsrvr\*data directories as all the data those directories is transient or the files are open. The only exception is exchsrvr\kmsdata (if you use it), which you can only back up successfully if you shut down the Key Management Server service first.
