ALL,
I have been trying to backup exchange for the longest time and have been unsuccessful. I finally got it to where it won't say "LOADING MEADIA?" when I come in the next morning. However, now when I come in the next morning the backup is still running. It didn't used to be this way, but perhaps I screwed something up when I was troubleshooting other problems. Even the Friday backup that starts at 6pm will still be running when I come in Monday morning. I can see the byte count counting up and when I view the properties I can tell it is backing up individual messages in mailboxes. I'm not sure if this is how it is supposed to be setup.
If you look at the 2 images I inserted, maybe someone can tell me i have it setup wrong. I have selected to backup mailboxes, but it is also selected to backup the information store. Should I be doing both? BTW, these are full backups I'm doing... no incremental or anything like that.
I just realized I can't post the images because they have to be on a server. Anyway, can someone tell me if I should be selecting "Microsoft Exchange Mailboxes" under selections on the left as well as "Microsoft Information Store?" and then the First Storage Group?
Thanks,
Doug
Sorry I don't know much about Exchange or Backups. I'm probably not asking what I need to ask.
