RE: Moving Exchange Database
Double Bummer! It seems I had a moment of dyslexia - what I'm about to deploy is a SAN, not a NAS. SANs are supported. As a matter of fact the idea is to keep running only differential backups (logs only, all the logs) every night. Once a month (or less, tuning will be needed, fortunately we have the whole sunday available as a downtime window): - full online backup. - stop exchange services. - detach a mirror of the databases. Offline backup of the whole server (os ecc.) except the databases. Restart of services. - backup the detached mirror of the databases (offline backup of the db files, added with the backup of the previous step this constitutes a whole offline backup). - reattach and sync that mirror to the (already running online) master discs. In case of need for a single mailbox restore (really has been needed only twice in 3 years, the Ed Crowley metod works fine): on a spare identical box (spare network) restore the whole offline os backup and databases. Restore online logs if neccesary, restore mailbox. In case of disaster recovery: Ditto, then move server to main network. Supposed advantage: This should minimize restore time, since there's no need for the reinstallation of OS, service packs, exchange, service packs. Also the restore time of the databases as a offline file restore should be less than a restore of the exchange db. Disadvantage: from time to time (once a month ? once a week) a downtime window is needed, for the time neccessary to stop services, OS backup, start services.

RE: Moving Exchange Database
Because using a NAS for Exchange is TOTALLY unsupported by Microsoft. It is also a wonderfully easy way to have your Exchange DB's eaten and puked all over the server room floor, thus causing really pissed off users to hound you for the next several hours/days as you try to rebuild the mess you caused but using a NAS box. -Original Message- From: Herold Heiko [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, January 22, 2003 4:32 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Moving Exchange Database Why ?
