backing up questions?

[Guest lenny]

Hi,

I have a Windows Server with another Terminal Services Server. I have setup

a backup on the server to happen every night with a DAT tape. As you might

have noticed from earlier posts this is now getting quite full. I have also

noticed that there isn't a backup facility on the TS so the main server is

backing up C and D on that machine which basically includes all the shared

folders that have been setup but nothing is backing up the Database folder

on TS or any of the users files under C:\Documents and Settings\User. Each

user is using pop3 email through outlook via their TS login so I suppose

their emails aren't being backed up either.

 

Any suggestions as to the best way of backing all this up correctly would be

appreciated.

Cheers

Lenny

Hello Lenny,

 

Do you run it with a script? Please post the script content here.

 

Also have a look on this articles about the remote backup:

What do you use to backup the data? NTBACKUP should be available on any

server. You could back up the desired folders to a file on the server

with the tape drive and backup them up that way.. Be advised, though,

that "in use" files won't get backed up...

 

What kind of database? Most that I've used (SQL, MSDE) keep the database

"in use". One has to run a job that will back up the database to a file.

That file can be backed up to tape.
