Backing up Exchange
servers that are in different forests
You cannot back up
Exchange 2000/2003 servers from
different Active Directory forests in a
single backup job. However, you can
backup databases from all versions of
Exchange Server within the same job, as
long as they all belong to the same
organization. Be aware that servers for
all versions of Exchange Server are
listed on the Microsoft Exchange node,
including Exchange 2000/2003, but you
cannot back up Exchange 2000/2003
computers from this node. If you select
any Exchange 2000/2003 computers under
the Microsoft Exchange node for backup,
the backup jobs fail.
Note: If you
browse to the database level in one of
the Exchange Server backup nodes, and
there is an option for backing up the
directory on the server, then you are in
the wrong place to back up an Exchange
2000/2003 database.
To back up Exchange
2000/2003 databases from multiple
forests, exit and restart Ntbackup.exe,
and then designate a remote store in a
different forest, or run separate
instances of Ntbackup.exe. |
