There was a problem with it at Windows Server 2003 RTM. I ran into it, I know. Either one of the ntbackup rollups or vss rollups (or both) fixed it, I don't remember which. It was corrected in Windows Server 2003 sp1. A fair bit of MS documentation says not to do it, because of the above. ________________________________ From: Carl Houseman [mailto:c.houseman@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Friday, December 30, 2005 2:21 AM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] RE: Backup / Restore Exchange 2003 by Veritas http://www.MSExchange.org/ What does "at the same time" mean? I've been backing up the system state and info store using just one NTbackup job, for some time. All 2003 products. And yes, I've done a full machine restore from one such backup. Got everything back.
