Recovery Server NT Backup.

2003-02-20 Thread Pfefferkorn, Pete (PFEFFEPE)
Exchange 5.5 SP4

We have a backup recover system we built to recover mailboxes.  It's running
2000 and we have been able to restore to it, but we have had two occurrences
when we told NT backup to restore to the our backup system, but the back
started shutting down services on the originating system and trying to
restore the Dir.EDB to the originating system.  I know I didn't tell it to
restore the Dir but only the info store, so I'm at a loss as to why it tried
to restore back to the originating.  This happened one other time as well.  

So what I would like to do to insure this does not happen again, is to
restore to the local box without it being on the wire and insure it's not
going back to the originating.  My problem is that even though the tape
drive is on the box it will not restore if I unplug it from the wire.  Do I
need to get a BDC and that box on a hub and then disconnect the hub from the
wire for it to restore?

Assuming you have an NT4 domain infrastructure yes.
