Services off - flat file archive under standard archive settings. Copy the stores elsewhere first then restart exchange if you can't have too much downtime.

Separate options file with the retention period and could even use separate disk pool if you want.

We would like to keep the backup for an indefinite amount of time (most likely a few years). The backup tape(s) will be sent offsite. Currently we have a nightly backup of Exchange which expires after 30 days. I have a couple ideas on how to accomplish this. I want to hear what other people are doing. Thanks in advance. ******************************* Wayne Prasek I.T. Support Analyst (Server) 204-985-1694 [EMAIL PROTECTED] *******************************
