I saw some emails about backing up Exchange 2007 a while back and
someone said they had a script, but as far as I can tell, that script
never got posted to the list.
I've been doing some work on this, and have it working, so I thought I'd
post what I'm doing.
I've attached two files that are very simple but are part of the
process. Basically, we are using VSS to create a copy of the Exchange
data and then backing up that copy. I'm creating the copy with a
scheduled task rather than doing as a "pre" command using backuppc.
Here it is:
Create a c:\offsitebackup folder
Create an exchange folder within it.
Copy diskshadowscript.dsh to the offsitebackup folder (file attached)
copy offline-backup.cmd to the offsitebackup folder (file attached)
Make sure E: drive is not used on the server. If it is, modify those two
files
Create a task that runs once every weekday at the time of your choosing.
For the command, use c:\windows\system32\diskshadow.exe
For arguments, use "/s diskshadowscript.dsh" (no quotes)
For "Start In" use c:\offsitebackup
You can test the shadow copy by running the task manually. You should
see your Exchange data in the c:\offsitebackup\exchange folder
Then make sure the BackupPC backup includes /cygdrive/c/offsitebackup.
That's it. Hope this helps someone.
