Hi there!
The idea is to backup exchange databases. Areca backup open source software (http://www.areca-backup.org/) is unfortunatelly not an option because it can not handle opened/locked files, soo we came up with another idea:
Firstly backup the exchange databases with Windows Server backup tool which uses Volume shadow copy and then with ARECA backup what Windows server backup tool did.
Questions:
-Do you think the idea is good? Would you recommend sth else?
-I have question regarding doing backups with Windows Server Backup tool. In our desired backup scenario, where would
1stly backup exchange databases with WSB and then Areca should we use under VSS SETTINGS in WSB: Vss copy backup, right?
-Another thing which concerns me is when u choose on WSB to backup to a shared network folder you recieve an warning:
When yo use a remote shared folder as the storage destination for scheduled backups, each backup will erase he previous backup, and only the latest backup will be available.
Ok, can someone clarify the meaning of this message? If I understood right in this case you are only able doing FULL BACKUPs the hole time if the message is saying
that everytime backup will be deleted, right?
with best regards,
