Hi all, Just a query about backing up exchange mailboxes, I currently have a = batch file running every hour on a Exchange 2000 server which is also my = DC backing up all users folders - documents ect.. I would also like to backup all users mailboxes every hour but i am not = sure which way to go about it. The reason why is because our current = server's service agreement is on a return to base basis. So if something = goes wrong we are without a server! - not my doing. So, I have installed a IDE drive along with the RAID array so that these = hourly backups will be on my IDE which i will pull out and put in = another machine if i lose the server. I could backup the mailbox store, but without an exchange server it = wouldnt be very usefull , Or i could backup the entire MBX directory = from the M: drive but this can timely. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Note: We do a full tape backup everynight with ARCserv with exchange = backup agent. Regards, Michael
