| How to backup Microsoft Exchange server data |
The Enterprise edition of FileBack PC allows external programs
to be run before and after a backup job (see the Enterprise page of the backup
job Editor). By creating two batch (.BAT) files, one to run before the
entry to shutdown the Exchange services, and another to re-launch them after the
backup, FileBack PC can be used to backup your exchange data.
Here's the basic layout of the first batch file, to shutdown the
Exchange services:
net stop "microsoft exchange internet mail service"
net stop "microsoft exchange event service"
net stop "microsoft exchange information store"
net stop "microsoft exchange message transfer agent"
net stop "microsoft exchange directory"
net stop "microsoft exchange system attendant"
The basic layout of the batch file to re-start the services is as follows:
net start "microsoft exchange system attendant"
net start "microsoft exchange directory"
net start "microsoft exchange event service"
net start "microsoft exchange message transfer agent"
net start "microsoft exchange information store"
net start "microsoft exchange internet mail service"
Place these two batch files in your FileBack PC program
folder, and set them to launch before and after your backup job. Set
the properties of the backup job to copy the MS Exchange data, and create a
scheduled event to run the backup job when no-one will be using the Exchange
server. (Thanks to Gary Ponting
