I am running two NT 4 SP4 servers. One PDC and one BDC. On the PDC I have a 12/24 Gb tape backup. On the BDC I’m running Exchange server 5.5 SP2. Running Ntbackup from the PDC can backup IS and DS on the BDC no problem. Using the AT command ntbackup backup is \\bdc /t copy… from the PDC, again no problem. But trying to use WINAT to schedule a backup of the same command I get the following event id:
8000
Begin Backup of ‘RAILTECH\RAILTECH01\EXCHANGE\Information Store’ Verify: Off Mode: Append Type: Copy
8010
Microsoft Exchange services returned ‘Access is denied.
‘ from a call to ‘BackupPrepare()’ additional data ‘EXCHANGE’
8001
End Backup of ‘RAILTECH\RAILTECH01\EXCHANGE\Information Store’ Verify: Off Mode: Append Type: Copy
P.S. Please don’t suggest using a third party backup program. After paying $600.00 for a copy of Archserve 6.5 single server edition, I could not get it to work more than five days at a time, and that was before we got our second server. The support
