Hi Thanks for the response Well, we do have the exchange agent I've altered the selection list to include the 3 Exchange options (Directory, Information Store, and Mailboxes) do I now exclude the exchsrvr folders on the normal backup folder selections?

RE: Online backup of Exchange 5.5 with Veritas BE 8.5
He doesnt need the Exchange Agent to do an online Exchange-aware backup of the store. Niki, when you browse to the Exchange Server in Veritas, do you see the Information Store and the Directory as choices? It sounds as if you chose to do a flat file backup instead. P.S. I would upgrade BE as well. You are just a bit behind. :) Don't bother with backing up the individual mailboxes or the Exchange Agent.. Keep a recovery server handy instead and practice your restores there. -Original Message- From: Mike Tonazzi [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, March 07, 2002 7:24 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: AW: Online backup of Exchange 5.5 with Veritas BE 8.5 I don't know what advice you were given, but you cannot just do a normal backup without stopping the exchange services.
