alex, have you ever tried it? I have never tried it but what I am worrying about is the domain name and stuff like that. because the exchange depends and integrated with the active directory, there can be SID issues.

The system state backup + information store backup+IIS backup will allow to do a restore with sucess. There's several methods to restore e2k. Different of Microsoft documentation methods.

I choose the Rebuild the server mode ......But to succeed the "Rebuild the server mode" you need to have a "Windows backup set": it inclue three parts : System state data, the Windows boot partition and the Windows system partition..... I have a Exchange 2k box with only 1 hard disk divided into 2 partition C: and F: On partition C:, I installed Win2k SRV/SP3, Exchange2K SRV/SP2,Antivirus for W2k and exchange .....On partition f: is stored Exchange databases and transaction log files ..... My question is about "Windows backup set" ......I know how to back up the "system state" with NTbackup but I don't know how to backup "the boot and system partition" Does it mean tha I have to backup all data on partition c: including "Exchsrv" folder .....? Thanks for your help ....
