I have a few questions around SNMP. [ IOS 3600 Software (C3640-IO3-M), Version 12.2(7b) ] Altho we manage our own routers, our ISP monitors our Frame Relay lines in case they go down after hours. They used a utility called 'Whats Up' for the monitoring, but have since moved on and now monitor...

Mate, exmerge is as easy as it gets. It is wizard driven, meaning that you just enter the info that it asks and away you go. It really isn't difficult. As a test run, why don't you create a test mailbox on your Exchange server, send some mail to it, export the messages using exmerge, delete all...

Altho I can't give you a clear-cut answer, I might be able point you in the right direction. Take a look at this doc from Microsoft: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/winxppro/maintain/sp2netwk.mspx Click on the RPC Interface Restriction link. Whether the NBU client uses RPC calls...

The exmerge utility will save you heaps of time. You can export her whole mailbox, and then import only the folders you want. It is really that easy to use. As for RCG's, here you go: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/exchange/2003/library/ue2k3rsg.mspx or download here for reading...

Yep, Exchange 2003 SP2 is the way to go. Your mailbox issue: 1> Leave her mailbox as is on the Exchange 2003 server. 2> Bring up the Exchange 2K server. 3> Export her mailbox from the Exchange 2K server [use exmerge or Outlook 2003/XP. Remember to select subfolders during the export). 4> After...

Great! So you restored an Exchange 2000 PF back into Exchange 2003? If thats the case, then I've learned something as well. I know that that it can't be much of a hassle, but wasn't sure if you could do it straight like that. I'm glad you got it working. Keep the peace. Cheers mate.

No problem! As long as the Exchange 2000 server is still operational and the Information Store and related Exchange services are up and running, you are halfway there. What we need to do is this. 1> Recreate the Exchange admin account. Call it anything. Create a mailbox for this account. Make...

Do you by any chance still have the 2000 Exchange server running? If so, I would open the exchange administrators mailbox on the server using Outlook, and then export the Public Folders to a standard pst [personal folder]. Ensure you select "Include subfolders" when doing the export. Once you...

Solved! Albeit in my own way. I created a seperate policy to backup the master server on its own. Only after the master server is backed up, do the rest of my policies kick in. The speed is now what I reckon it should be. Why it works this way and not as part of a policy that contains other...

I think [hope] I've got it solved. I'll let the backup finish and then post my findings. [just hope I don't jinx it now!]

Thanks for the replies guys. FLAVE: "..do you have more than one LAN Interface on the master server, if so, please set the required interface on the master server. Check also full/half duplex, must be on full." Two NIC's. One is disabled. The other has a static ip, valid DNS entry and is set...

I hear what you say, my friend. I have checked all of that. But why does the Netbackup server need to query the network to back itself up? It just doesn't make sense. The server should be backing itself up via the SCSI cable connected to the library, not via the network. I can understand if any...

Sorry, forgot to add that I disable anti-virus during backup [as suggested in other threads].

In my Server 2003 environment, Netbackup 5.1 is installed as Master and Media server on the file server [user data server]. The robotic library is connected to this server. I have two backup policies, one to backup the Exchange environment and one to backup the system files and user data. NBU...
