All you NTBackup users.... Question ...;-)

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



The backup wizard doesn't nominate the store (only get option of deleted
emails)

It saves the exchange files, assuming you ticked / covered the folder..lol

But what about the logs ? Backing up the folder, is it intelligent to know
to clear the logs or do you manually have to go into the backup job and tick
the 'store' then of course untick the mdbdata folder otherwise backing it up
twice, unless you want to.

Which leads me onto another question regarding the system state... can it
cope doing both... exchange store and system state ? I dont know why but
something is ringing in my head about both, but it is late in UK...lol

Sorry for the question but just trying to help another and didn't want an
important point to get lost in another thread. Also I am an avid Veitas /
Symantec backup user so havent used it .How do you get alerted to backup
problems?
