Hello All,

I would like to backup our exchange server (A) and restore to another NT
server (B) that is freshly built to test the backup and restore process. Is
it sufficient enough to rename B to A and change DNS and hosts file entries
on the backup server so that A resolves to the system that is being restored
(B)? Does Netbackup try to resolve names with Netbios? Do we need to put
server B on an isolated network with the backup server to restore?

I thought was that Netbackup would only use standard name resolution and
that it would be fine to restore on the same network as the production
Exchange server ( turning off the netbackup service on the production
Exchange Server just in case..). But we have some people here that feel the
Netbios traffic ( Browse Masters, etc..) will screw things up. Server B has
no WINS entry.

Thoughts?

Thanks in Advance.
