Backup Website files

[ChicagoRookie]

hi experts,

What I want to know is how to make it easy to migrate IIS role and Exchange(mailboxes and owa). this tasks need to be done quickly.

we have two Domain controllers(A,B).
ServerA DC,Exchange(OWA, all mailboxes),IIS,
ServerB DC,EXchange(same administrative group)


first, I am having hard time to backup website files which is over 75GB. because we have lots of images.
In order to copy this, I used ntbackup which make one backup file .bks something. it didn't work(failed)
i also used robocopy, it didn't work.(insufficient resource error in the middle of copying files thru network)
I guess some files in used cause this issues.

Second, Need to know easy and nice migration process.
how to move mailboxes(over 400), transfer SSL cert, and ete

any reply would be appreciated

Microsoft KB article 822931 will walk you through moving Exchange. Keep in mind it's not recommended that Exchange be on a domain controller.

Your boss needs to do some reading. While it is supported by Microsoft, it is NOT recommended by Microsoft.

Why is it NOT recommended to install Exchange Server 2003 on a computer that is also a Domain Controller?
