Hi all,

Ì'm a little bit worried about the rules that Ì defined to do a SYSTEM
backup of my network servers. One DLT tape
is not been enough to store a weekly backup, so I need to take off some
folders...
I tried to find some article to know more about this kind of stuff, but I
didn't concluded anything.

I have a AD domain with Windows 2000 servers :
S1: DC, DNS, WINS, DHCP, GC (C: mirrored)
S2: DC, DNS, WINS, DHCP, GC (C: mirrored)
S3: File & Print Server (HARDWARE RAID 5)
S4: EXCHANGE 2K, IIS (HARDWARE RAID 5)
S5: ANTIVIRUS, BACKUP EXEC, INTRANET (C: MIRRORED)
S6: ISA SERVER, DNS CACHE (C: MIRRORED)
S7: TEMPORARY SERVER (USED WITH UNIX) (NO REDUNDANCE)

The original backup rule was:
system state + all drive c:
The first modification I did was:system state + program files, but one tape
is not enough yet.

What I really need to recover a server if it crashes?

all help will be appreciate,
tips of sites and articles, too.

thank you very much.

What you were getting before, System state and C volume, was good. This
should work for all of you machines below, with the possible exception of
Exchange (might need to backup mailbox stores as an addition), S3's shares
and contents of them, IIS on S4, and the ISA information (not really sure
there, you maywant to post to the ISA newsgroup to verify that system state
gets the ISA configuration info).
 
Ok Tim:

Thank you very much.
