Dumb...er...safe backup question... 1

[wahnula]

Hello,

I have been siting home playing with my remote access to my server and trying to solve a minor problem...when I go to

http://servername/backup

I get "The page cannot be displayed" but all the backup functions in server management work.

My SBS2003 SP1 box:

(1) IDE drive, partitioned (BSBSBackup and (RASR
(2) SATA RAID 1 (C OS & App array
(3) SATA RAID 5 (L DATA array
(4) USB1 or USB2 (D alternate backup drives

I was going through the workaround provided by Microsoft and part of it was deleting my old backup scenario and re-creating a new one in Server Management>Backup>configure Backup.

I am just triple checking, that I DO NOT WANT to have B: included in my backup scheme, just C: and L:. B: is the destination, and I can see no reason for backing it up to itself, in fact I can see shadow volume loops if I include it in the backup, I am just making sure as I recently needed to recover from SBS backup, I'm a little on the skittish side...thanks.

Tony

You do NOT want it included in the backup, and you DON'T want to have Volume Shadow Copy enabled on it either.
