NTbackup hardware compression ?
I was wondering if hardware compression is generally effective when doing an Exchange-aware NTbackup backup, or if the databases are already compressed? I have a 12GB capacity DDS3 tape drive that I use to do on-line backups of my Exchange server. I have made sure that I am either using the command line switch /hc:on, or checking "hardware compression" in the NTbackup screeen. However, since my Priv.Edb creeped up to >12 Gig, the backup spans two tapes. Could there be something I'm doing incorrectly, or is it time to get a bigger tape drive, or an Exchange backup program that understands tape loaders, or just deal with the additional pain of tape flipping?

exchange and ntbackup problems
Hi we have three W2000 Server with exchange 5.5 on different locations and every server should be locally backuped with ntbackup. The problem is that the ntbackup from location Konstanz saves the database from Haan. When i open the list of exchange server in ntbackup on the location Konstanz their are sorted alphabetically Microsoft Exchange Exchange WAE Haan PDC Konstanz PDC Mailand PDC In every side we have one PDC but he lists not the hole domain name. Haan is the first entry and ntbackup save this exchange database. I expect the problem is the backup.bks script. When i choose the backup sources in ntbackup the bks script shows below. c:\ d:\ DS \\PDC IS \\PDC The name of the exchange server is only PDC. When i change the name to a full domain name ntbackup stops with a Dr. Watson. For this problem I have nothing found in the technet. Has everyone a good idea to solve this problem? thanks Bernd _ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Thanks, I'll check my drivers & hardware. I'm using either a Sony SDT-9000, or an HP Surestore, so I'm fairly confident that at least the Surestore should be able to do hardware compression.

ntbackup, E2K and logs
Under NT with Exchange installed, the '/l "C:\logname.log" would redirect the log file for that particular backup to "C:\logname.log" ... under Win2K Adv Server with E2K, when I attempt to give /l a location for the logfile, it fails on that part of the command... upon looking at the ntbackup commandline info, I don't see a reference to how to redirect the log... anyone have some insight into this?

W2K3 and E2K3 and NTBackup
I'm starting to plan for my 5.5/W2K to E2K3/W2K3 migration. We currently use NTBackup to backup 5.5 on W2K, and it's great. My assumption is that W2K3's NTBackup will backup E2K3, but I don't want to assume and I'm not to the testing stage yet. It that a safe assumption? Will W2K3's NTBackup backup E2K3? -Walden Walden H Leverich III President Tech Software (516) 627-3800 x11 (208) 692-3308 eFax [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.TechSoftInc.com Quiquid latine dictum sit altum viditur.

RE: ntbackup, E2K and logs
Some people may have other reasons but for me I think %userprofile%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Windows NT\NTBackup\data\ is a stupid place for a backup log file which is more of a "system type" item like smtp virtual server logs, IIS access logs etc and is not at all a "userprofile type" item such as desktop wallpaper. I managed to direct smtp logs, IIS logs etc all to the same folder so I can quickly access them and thanks to Tom's answer I can now put the backup logs in the same place.

We use BLAT to email the logs, like Tom. Since they get emailed, it doesn't matter to me that the original is buried in some account's profile path.

Backup Ex5.5 using NTBackup on Workstation

If I run this batch file directly, it works fine, but I am trying to get it to run via the AT scheduler. I have now found that it will not run as the scheduler creates a null session without access to the network. Q124184 suggests changing the account that the Scheduler uses, but on the workstation this option is greyed out.

Ntbackup with Win2K3 and Exchange 2K3 (RC1)
I am a little too use to Veritas and Ex 5.5 so I am new to the 'STM' file and the backup procedures of Exchange2K3 (same as 2000 it appears). I am trying to backup using NTBackup to a disk, all the rest of the backup completes but I can not get the Exchange portion to backup correctly. It appears from the log, I get the volumes and (based on size) what appears to be the Public folders but I can't seem to get the Private store to backup. At the very bottom (pasted below) is where it fails. I've searched for the error in the 'Q' articles, I don't seem to find anything (looking in Exchange2000 kB's). Maybe it's just a RC bug... -Original Message- To: Finch Brett Subject: Full Backup Status Operation: Backup Active backup destination: File Media name: "Backup.bkf created 2003/09/25 at 00:22" Backup (via shadow copy) of "C: C_DRIVE_NTFS" Backup set #1 on media #1 Backup description: "Set created 2003/09/25 at 00:22" Media name: "Backup.bkf created 2003/09/25 at 00:22" Backup Type: Normal Backup started on 2003/09/25 at 00:25.

Ntbackup vs. Veritas for Exch 5.5 D/R ??
Our old exchange box is running NT4 and exchange 5.5 with veritas backup exec 7.3 (and the exchange addon). I have just set up a new server with win2k server and exchange 5.5 and I am considering just using ntbackup for D/R (disaster recovery). I understand the adavantages of the Veritas backup database for file backup and recovery, but in the case of recovering an exchange server I'm not sure what extra I am getting from veritas. One thing that ntbackup will do that I have not been able to do with Veritas is backup to a file. With Ntbackup, I can do a full backup to another hard drive and then another second complete backup to a tape every night. I can still have the tapes offsite etc, but now also have a much faster restore off of another hard drive.

How to break Exchange in the Lab [Was: NTBackup]
Thanks to everyone and MSKB[1], I now have backups that I KNOW are good. Next step now, is to learn how to fix Exchange. I know there are a few million ways to break Exchange, but what would be the best for learning the repair tools in a lab environment? The hardware stuff 'should' be straight-forward. Break it - ID it - Repair/ Replace/ Restore - Reboot. The software and DB corruption would need to be more careful to avoid getting into a 'Restore is only option' situation. Any Ideas?

>I can do a full backup to another hard drive and then another second >complete backup to a tape every night. Or, you could do as we do, a complete backup to a drive each night, and then backup _that_ drive to tape. We've centralized a number of our server backups to a machine we affectionately call "backup" and then we backup the backup files to tape. Granted it's a two step process to restore, first restore the .bak from the tape to the machine and then the files from the .bak, but on the other hand I can restore a machine w/o having to retrieve the backup tapes. -Walden Walden H Leverich III President Tech Software (516) 627-3800 x11 (208) 692-3308 eFax [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.TechSoftInc.com Quiquid latine dictum sit altum viditur.

Another good one is to let your IS and/or logfile space run out very rapidly from a mail loop (use blat or the reskit simulation tools for the loop).

Recovering 5.5 pub.edb from online backup done with Windows 2000 ntbackup
I'm hitting the MSKB as I speak, but I wondered if there's a quick 'n' dirty answer to this. Long story short I need to get pub.edb back from last nights backup, someones outlook crashed doing a move of a load of contacts, the contacts appear to have mysteriously lost all their category assignments. I have a verified online backup from last night done using ntbackup, what I would like to do is to do an offline restore (for lack of a better word) so that I have the pub.edb file, I'll then look at building a box with Exchange 5.5 on it and recovering the .edb file to it. It seems ntbackup will only let me restore the entire IS (50-odd gb vs 2gb for just the public store), and only to the original location, I'm pretty happy once I have the .edb file that I can bring it up on a recovery box. I'll admit to having been caught somewhat one the hop here, I've read the disaster whitepapers but they appear to assume you want to recover the lot, onto the original box (which is the scenario I'd taken into account). regards, Paul -- Paul Hutchings Network Administrator, MIRA Ltd.

Re: Recovering 5.5 pub.edb from online backup done with Windows 2000 ntbackup
Ed, I have online backups done nightly using ntbackup on Windows 2000, the online backup is done to a dedicated disk, the file on disk is then streamed to tape later on when the "normal" filesever backups are done. Problem I'm seeing is that when you load the online backup file into ntbackup it simply recognizes "Directory" and "Information Store" objects, you don't appear to be able to select which store you want to restore, unless I'm misinterpreting something. regards, Paul - Original Message - From: "Ed Crowley" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Exchange Discussions" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, September 18, 2003 9:43 PM Subject: Re: Recovering 5.5 pub.edb from online backup done with Windows 2000 ntbackup > You don't have an online backup?
