Hello Community,
i know it's the wrong Categorie, but couldn't select Exchange Server 2010.
I have the following problem with Exchange backup:
We have 3 Exchange Server, 2 with databases (both active and passiv).
I change the registry to disable replication vss to ignore the passive databases. Before that backup didn't complete successfully. But now i have the problem, that also the passive copies are backuped. As i read in other discussions exchange should ignore them now or am i wrong? In this case that means, every database is backuped twice, which use to much storage.
The backup Job is the following:
---
REM SET NTBACKUP_FILE=c:,D:,E:
SET BACKUP_DRIVE=xxxx
SET SERVER_TYPE=WbAdminMex
SET TARGET_SERVER=xxxx
SET BACKUP_FOLDER=\\%TARGET_SERVER%\%SERVER_TYPE%\%COMPUTERNAME%\%DATE%
wbadmin start backup -include:"%NTBACKUP_FILE%" -backupTarget:%BACKUP_FOLDER% -allcritical -systemstate -vssfull -quiet
---
1. Is it normal that passive databases get backuped now on both servers?
2. In the past, Databases was backuped on file-level (Path to Database and logfiles). I read, that it was wrong and changed to volume backup. Or can i backup on file-level? So i only add path to the active ones.
3. Or can i use two wbadmin jobs: One with -allcritical and drive C:. The other without -allcritical, so i can exclude path from the passive copies.
Kind regards and thanks for your help! :)
