Question Mohammed, What Exchange are you using? If it's 2003 did you bother reading the Exchange 2003 Disater Recovery Guide from Microsoft before backing up your Exchange? It has a lot of good information regarding backing up your Exchange 2003 correctly that restoring it would not be nasty. You can find this guide at www.microsoft.com/exchange Regards, Andrew ________________________________ From: Mohammed Tantawi [mailto:mtantawi@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, December 15, 2004 2:58 AM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] Urgent Backup http://www.MSExchange.org/ Dear All, If I took online Backup ( Normal ) from my Exchange server today, and after some days I found My server completely damaged , what is my Idea is :- What will happen if I took the backup and try to restore it into different server with different Hardware Profile at all , ( Please Note that the Administrative group name is the same ) and all the configuration is the same ) , what will happen to the Database do you think its going to work without any Problem at all, do you think that ?
