And a cool PPT of the whole thing I found while confirming the log file thing (I was thinking of trying to replay the log files in event of longstanding corruption which would be a useless thing to do).
I always work better with big pretty pictures. http://www.exchangeserverboston.com/archives/DBMgmt.ppt -----Original Message----- From: Andy David [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, February 12, 2002 2:08 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Backups Checklist If you are doing an online backup, why backup the log files? -----Original Message----- From: Chris Haaker [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, February 12, 2002 2:07 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Backups Checklist NTBackup in XCH2K recognizes an Exchange Install as it does in NT4. So if I backup System State, IS and DS through the Exchange Server Checkbox and then the drive with the log files I should be all set for a full restore no? The Exchange server folder on C:\ is all binaries right? I have those on C:, logfiles on D: and the stores on E:. Anything I am missing? I have never had to do a restore before but soon will have to for DR "practice" pursposes. Besides documentation on all my settings and options, am I missing anything all of you tried and true backup gurus know of? Did I mention I HATE BACKUPS!!
