Only exchange aware applications are supposed to be used to backup the
EDB files (unless you stop Exchange Services during the Backup).  

 

Backup Exec, must be able to differentiate between the backup types
(exchange aware vs. non) during the same backup.  Netvault does not.  It
requires one schedule for the system backup and another schedule for the
Exchange backup.

One full backup - including the Exchsrvr directory - Backup Exec
automatically clears the logs, etc. after backup is completed.  Why do
you exclude the Exchsrvr directory files?

 So do you run two separate backups?

 

1 for full system (excluding the Exchsrvr directory)

And another for the Exchsrvr directory files?

 

If so, which backup are you using to backup the SRS files?

We use Veritas Backup Exec, with the Exchange option also and are able
to back up the SRS.

Subject: [exchangelist] SRS Backup/Recovery

 

http://www.MSExchange.org/

Hello all,

 

   I am wondering about the correct process to backup SRS in my Exchange
mixed mode environment.  I have found articles to recover SRS if a
backup was not made, but I can not find out the correct process to
backup this service.

 

  Since the SRS is an .EDB format, I assume that an Exchange aware
backup utility is needed to back this file up.  However, my Netvault
Exchange application does not allow me to specify the SRS directory for
backup.

 

  I exclude the Program Files/Exchsrvr directory from system backups,
and was wondering if I am able to include the SRS directory in the
system backup.  My gut feeling is no....  This is where I need your
help/advise on the correct way to backup SRS.


Thanks,
Chris
