You cannot do brick-level backups with NTBackup. Which is fine, because...
3.11 Q: ...Brick level... A: Brick level = BAD. It is very slow, uses a lot more tape, and has gobs of limitations. Instead, use The Ed Crowley Never Restore Method. http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq_appxb.htm Steven --- Steven Dickenson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Network Administrator The Key School, Annapolis Maryland -----Original Message----- From: Neil Doody [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, June 02, 2003 1:05 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Backing up the M Drive I was looking into the built in backup and noticed Exchange Options. Though I could not see anyway of selectively restoring only one mailbox via this method, or public folder using this backup? Is there a way of choosing which mailboxes you do and don't want to restore using the built in backup? When I try to expand the "Microsoft Exchange" tab it asks me which server do I want to query. I give it one, but the box never becomes un-greyed, the exchange server is local to where I am trying to run Microsoft Backup. The option for "Microsoft Exchange Server" is available and I can choose the server I want, but like I said previously this does not seem to allow for selective restore/backup on a per mailbox scale. -----Original Message----- From: Dickenson, Steven [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 02 June 2003 17:48 To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Backing up the M Drive Ouch. Don't. Everything I've read says that this will be the seventh sign that brings about Armageddon. Use NTBackup on your Exchange 2000 Server to backup to a file, then backup that file to tape using Arcserve.
