Hi Dell! Thank you very much for your answer! Is there any way to know this in advance? The Exchange people schedule the full backup once a week and incrementals for all other days. Now the backup failed, so if we can find out in advance whether a full backup is required we can start a full automatically instead of the incremental. Do you know a way to do this in a script or batchfile or something? Again, thank you for your answer! Kindest regards, Eric van Loon KLM Royal Dutch Airlines
Eric, In regards to TDP for Exchange... You must run a full backup before an incremental backup will work. Now, if you run a full backup with something other than TDP for Exchange, the Exchange Server will gladly let you do that. So, the point is that you should ALWAYS run a a full backup with TDP for Exchange before attempting any incremental or differential backup. If you are using NTBACKUP or some other tool as a supplement, you need to be very careful, because Exchange won't know that, and will let you do it. The problem would then appear when you tried to perform a restore using both tools.
