Hi,
I am not able to take complete backup. When i try to take backup of
information store using ntbackup, its show success ful completion on
tape
drive as qic. But when i try to restore, it only show three folders
: log
files,mailboxes and public foldes. But nothing is there inside these
folders. It dosen't give any errors...during backup process it shows
no of
files, size of those files and even in report its not giving any
errors.
interesting, after seeing your email I checked and sure enough, my
NTBackup shows the same way, i.e. the three folders are there but no
files
inside them!
Is there something missing in the way we are doing these backups?
best regards
Mike
Hi,
That sounds perfectly normal. But, really, don't believe me. Setup a
test server and try restoring from the backup file. The way I
understand it is we are backing up the databases not individual files
so we really can't see the contents.I have done test restores of the
database 6 or so times and the first time I checked it did throw me a
little that there wasn't more information but the restore worked. I
just double checked on my test server and verified my memory. Again,
verify the backup and your restore procedure yourself on a test server.
Have Fun,
Paul
Additionally look at the Application Event Log through Event Viewer it
will show you any anomalies if they occurred.
