Hi
I am trying to use standard backup tool provided by Windows 2003 to make a full image of a SPS 2003 system.
The aim is to have a cheap solution to recovery a full SBS 2003 system, with all the components/services running perfectly after the restore. In particular I need to have a Exchange 2003 restored.
I read two documents to do this.
1)Backing Up and Restoring Windows Small Business Server 2003
2) Microsoft Exchange 2003 Disaster Recovery Operations Guide
The main question now is
1) Is it possible to BACKUP a FULL SBS 2003 system, format the partitions, reinstall it and do a FULL RESTORE from the previous backup and getting back a "full fledged" and operational machine?
2) If yes, how you do this on the Exchange part? All my test gave me back a very NON OPERATIONAL exchange
3) If no, which is the best practice to restore a FULL SBS 2003 system?
Thanks
Marco
