Absolutely. And if you want to really document your system state, schedule an ISAInfo run. It'll include your OS, network and hardware settings as well; something an ISA export doesn't.

LOL that update fixed my export problem. i also got backup exec to enumerate man-made shares, but not the admin$ type shares.. so at least I can do an export and back that shared folder to tape. by the way, can i run a scheduled backup via ISA to a file every night? ________________________________ From: isalist-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:isalist-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Jim Harrison Sent: Thursday, October 26, 2006 11:09 PM To: isalist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [isalist] Re: backups If the export operation fails, you need to make sure that you have the latest msxml on your system.
