Seems that a lot of you are happy with the exchange backup.
So let me ask if I may :
1. Do you backup Exchange while active or do you shut down the services
prior to backup ?
2. How many of you have had to restore your whole Exchange from backup, =
and
how long did it take, and did it work fully or were there any glitches =
that
had to be retouched to get it all running ?
Thanks,
Mike
