Backup exchange with utility that only backs up files (logmein backup)

[dotobi]

Hi

I am trying to achieve off-site backups of Exchange on SBS 2003 using logmein backup. This doesn’t have the option like NTBackup does to specifically select the information store, so…

If a backup utility is used that only backs up files, which files need to be backed up?

Is it all the files in the folder “Exchsrvr\mdbdata\” (on this server its: priv1.edb, priv1.stm, pub1.edb, pub1.stm, E00.chk, E00.log, res1.log, res2.log, tmp.edb, E00tmp.log & E00006B4.log)? Is that all I’d need to restore exchange?

Thanks for your help!

probably the best way to do this is to use nt backup to do the exchange databases and then back this up.

there ids a good reason for this, if you need to restore your databases or want to use a recovery storage group it will be much harder from flat files than from an nt backup.
