Re: [BackupPC-users] How to backup Exchange in BackupPC

Lord, 

Thank you for the hint but does the NTBackup diligently handle Exchange DB even with open files? Could you share how the configuration is done?

Based on what I read in few other forums they were mentioning about using VSS component to achieve it but just that I don't quite much get the process.

Appreciate it.

There is no such thing as exchange 2008. There is exchange 2007 and exchange 2010. And there is server 2008. But no exchange 2008. 
I am backing up exchange 2007. I am using windows backup(ntbackup) on a schedule to backup system state and the exchange database into a flat bak file.
Then backing up the flat file. In my case i added a cheap hdd to the server specifically to store the bak files on so it has no risk of interfering with the system drive or datastore drive. I also have a windows scheduled task that goes in and deletes bak files that are older than 1 day right before ntbackup runs.

John,

I would like to post questions for BackupPC, kindly grant me the access and advise how it is done?

You just did ask a question of the entire user list.  Nothing more is needed.  Send your question to this list, as you just did.
