Hi,<br><br>Does anyone have a .BAT file that backups the entire Exchange server when using in an AT command?<br><br>Regards<br><br>Lars<br>
 
I've been using this file to do NT backups on my Exchange server in addition to my usual Arcserve backups. I called it Exbackup.cmd and used an AT command to run it. It backs up the Directory, the Information Store and then the server's C drive and E: drive. Just replace Server5 with your server name and use the drive letters appropriate to your server.<br><br><br>rem ***&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;NTBackup for Exchange Server Server5<br>rem ***&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This command file should be run every Saturday by the Schedule service using an AT command<br>ntbackup backup DS \\SERVER5 IS \\SERVER5 /d &quot;Server5 IS and DS&quot; /b /t Normal /l c:\winnt\exbackup.log<br>ntbackup backup c: /a /D &quot;Server5 C Drive&quot; /t Normal /l c:\winnt\cbackup.log<br>ntbackup backup e: /a /D &quot;Server5 E Drive&quot; /t Normal /l c:\winnt\ebackup.log<br>exit<br><br><br>David
 
I've been developing a program that could schedule backups with NTbackup.exe.&nbsp;&nbsp;it gives you all the options NTBackup offers, plus a time to run.&nbsp;&nbsp;It's more for a glorified batch program, but I find it works great.&nbsp;&nbsp;I'm still working on the Gui, but if you are interested, send me an email to <A HREF="mailto:chris.duarte@tomtec.com">chris.duarte@tomtec.com</A> and I'll send you a copy.&nbsp;&nbsp;I've been using it on my server with no problems whatsoever, but the cosmetics need some work.
