backing up shared folders quandary
Hi,
I just upgraded to BE 2014 and pretty much having to go through and recreate all the backup jobs. My quandary is the shared folders. the shared folders are either on the C:\ or D:\ E:\ . if...
...I've always backed up shared folders by backing up the drive and the System State. If the server crashes, restore to the same server or redirect your restores to another, and restore the System State.
Thanks!
If you are backing up the underlying drive, then no need to backup the shares separately.
If selection of user shares is enabled from BE settings and if one does select the underlying directory/drive and also selects the share itself, then data is backed up twice. You could consider disabling the selection of user shares from BE button - Configuration & Settings - BE settings - Network & Security.
