Guest ChuckN Posted December 19, 2007 Posted December 19, 2007 Our server is a W2K3 Enterprise server with Exchange Server 2003 Enterprise. I use Windows Backup to backup our exchange server every night. (I also backup to tape. I use Windows backup to disc as a safety net.) I would like to keep the latest three backups in case I get a bad backup. Is there a utility available that would allow we to do that automatically? Thanks for your help.

Guest ChuckN Posted December 19, 2007 Posted December 19, 2007 Re: Microsoft Backup We are using task scheduler to do that. What I would like is a utility that will increment the name of the backup file in a way that will keep the last three files and overwrite the 4th oldest file automatically.

Guest Bjarne Duelund Posted December 20, 2007 Posted December 20, 2007 Re: Microsoft Backup You could write a simple .cmd script that does that - delete *4 rename *3 -> *4 rename *2 -> *3 etc. - Duelund "ChuckN" <Chuck@newmanArchitecture.com> wrote in message news:OY2i03lQIHA.4476@TK2MSFTNGP06.phx.gbl... > We are using task scheduler to do that.
