RE: Backups, VSS and SBS2003 HELP NEEDED!!!

Hello Luke,

Thank you for posting back!

I have checked the registry keys you applied with mine on the test machine,
they are exact the same.

>From your reply, I understand that you do not have a Backup for your SBS
2K3 server currently, also, I understand that it is better to have a backup
before we installing SBS 2K3 SP1. In this case, I suggest you that contact
Microsoft Product Support Services via telephone so that a dedicated
Support Professional can assist with your request. For your case, I think
maybe hey will help you to perform an offline backup for your server or any
other better options. Please be advised that contacting phone support will
be a charged call.

To obtain the phone numbers for specific technology request please take a
look at the web site listed below.

I am greatly appreciated your time and understanding! If you have any
questions or concerns, please feel free to let me know. I am glad to be
working with you again!
