Hi.
I am looking at some online service providers of data backup and was looking to see how I can keep my cost down. I have 2 servers; one with Exchange and one with SQL. I want to backup Exchange and i am wondering if I backup:
1. System State
2. Information Store
That will be enough to bring the Exchange info store up and running. I am willing to reload the OS and the service packs and whatever other prog. files I have on that server from scratch and then pull down the information store and then the system state. I just don’t think I need the entire c:\ offsite because that will be redundant information if I have all my install disks. I can just reload exchange instead of downloading it from the offsite location. I am looking at the same scenario for SQL:
1. System State
2. Master/Model/MSDB/Custom DB’s
Anyone have any thoughts, comments?
