The info requested is E2K3 SP1 to E2K3 SP1 on seperate servers.

I presume these servers are not at all related to one another?
Read the backup/restore documentation - also consider something like Quest's
"Recovery Manager for Exchange" if this isn't a straight disaster recovery
situation.

Hello everyone .. I'm having a tough time with something and am
looking for a bit of guidence ..

I'm in the process of backing up the Info Store from 1 Exchange
server and need to restore it on a new server.

The backups go just fine, but when trying to restore it never gets
going. The site i'm at does their backups using NT Backup. When I go
through the Restore Wizard, it always wants to put the backup back on
the original server and will not allow me to restore it to the new
server. The new server has a different name so it shouldn't be
confused on where I want it to go, but again it won't allow me to
restore to the new server.


Any ideas why I'm having a problem with this? Any recommendations?

Regards,



Mike

What version of Exchange?
You can't just backup/restore from one server to another....presuming
E2003,
see

If not 2003, post back with more detail.
