RE: Problems Disaster recovery



Hello Tom,

Thank you for posting to the SBS Newsgroup.

I am sorry but from your description, I cannot have a very clear image what
exact issue you have encountered. In order to supplement your description,
I need your help to gather the following information:

1. Please explain in detail "disaster recovery job". Did you follow any
Document to do so? If yes, please list the web link so I can know if you
have performed the correct steps.

2. In your post, you mentioned "i am prompted to insert a formated floppy
to store the recovery information". I need to know if you are performing
the Automated System Recovery Wizard.

3. Please capture a screen shot for "a small window appears, only with a
red failure symbol, but no message. i can only click retry or abort".

4. Please fully describe your steps, so we can reproduce your issue on my
test machine.

For your information:

SBS 2003 provides a reliable way to perform regular server backups for
small companies. After a system failure or other disaster, you can restore
your server from your latest backup. We strongly suggest that you follow
our Backup and Restore White Paper to backup BSS Server:

Backing Up and Restoring Windows Small Business Server 2003

a82d-0c8d66e2a634&DisplayLang=en

With the ASR utility, we backup all the data or the system volume to
another partition or another hard disk and create an ASR disk, which is
recording the source path of all the programs. Therefore, by using ASR we
are now able to recover the whole system's status, not only Windows itself.

However, ASR will not backup and restore Exchange, WSS, etc data. So we
strongly suggest that our customers follow our White Paper to Backup and
Restore SBS Server.

Hope it helps! If you have any further questions or concern, please feel
free to let me know. I am looking forward to hearing from you!

Best regards,

Brandy Nee

Hi all
i started a disaster recovery job
After 5 hours the backup (50 GB) is stored on a additional ide hard disk,
and i am
prompted to insert a formated floppy to store the recovery information.
I do so, but two seconds later a small window appears, only with a red
failure symbol, but no message. i can only click retry or abort.
I have tried serveral flopppies, no one works.
With the explorer i can copy files on the diskette, but i receive only this
blank error message.
Hardware: HP ML 350 with SCSI RAID 5
Software: SBS 2003 Premium

Does anyone know this feature ?

regards

Tom
