Hi,

As far as I know, NT Backup is already Exchange aware...but you may have to run the backups from the Exchange server (Locally).

I just tried mapping a port to the $ drive where my Exchange store sits from a remote bacjup server, but it does not bring up the option for backup exchange...it seems as if it only gives the Exchange option locally.

maybe you need some kind of remote NT backup agent if you wanna backup Exchange from remotely like with Veritas.

Cheers,

Julian

There is a some .dll's you need to add to the backup server to make it 'Exchange Aware' or you can install the admin program to the server. The 'Books on Line' help tells you which .dll files to use.

Hi,

As far as I know,
The ntbackup gets modified or becomes
"exchange aware" when the exchange 5.5
is installed.
Backup can be done remotely if you have
SP5 or higher.

You can make your NTbackup "exchange aware" by just installing Exchange Admin on the backup server. No need to buy a new license.
