Re: [Networker] Exchange Backup

Hello all,

Either solution should work, but neither is the best way.

Since all databases in one Storage Group share one set of log files,
best practice is to back up at the Storage Group level.  Thus you would
need only two client entries: 

        MSEXCH:IS/1 Storage Group
        MSEXCH:IS/2 Storage Group

... and these can run in parallel, if you like.

Thanks,
_Scott

Why are you doing the backup that way?

Be that as it may, I suggest you put each one in a separate group and  
make sure they back up at different times.
