Thanks all for you responses...
Think I will 'exclude' clinical data from SBS backup and set up another
backup task using native ntbackup, that will allow me to do a 'copy'. Only
thing however, is that the native dialogs do not contain the option for
number of backups to use, as is the case for the SBS backup script, which
works fine. (Set to 3). This is good as it gives me Grandfather, Father, Son
rotation, nad not kill the space on an external drive.
I still have the offsite backup working, which gives me an added level of
redundancy.
Thanks all,
Neil Horley.

Not sure how to get around this. You may have to switch to just using the
native NTbackup and not the SBS Backup Wizard.

Hi Merv,
Did what you suggested and saved "type=copy" in backup job, but later
scheduled run revealed it was still doing type "normal". (From Backup log
details).
Appears that 'backuprunner' may be hard coded with command line
parameters?
Where does it get it's parametres from? Registry hack? (where mode normal
maybe = value 1, 'copy' = 2 ?) ** Just a suggestion !
Thanks,
Neil Horley

Hi Neil,
While I've never had occassion to do this, I believe you can first run
the
SBS Backup Wizard, then open NTBackup | Backup tab | Load Selections and
Browse/Select the .bks location (C:\Program Files\Microsoft Windows Small
Business Server\Backup\Small Business Backup Script.bks). Then on the
menu,
Tools | Options | Backup Type. Then change the type from Normal to Copy
and
save the .bks file.

I have a client (Medical Practice) that requires the "SBS Backup Job"
available through the System Manager, to be able to perform the backup
using
mode "copy" instead of normal as we do not want to reset archive bits.
This
is because we have in place an 'Offsite / Online' Backup solution that
dynamically updates changes to data files in selected folders.
I schedule this facility to shutdown for two hours each evening so that
the
server can do a full system backup, but when I start the offsite
facility
again, the SBS Bcakup has changed the archive bits to indicate the
files
have
been backed up, thus the offsite facility will not detect any file
changes
for that day.
How can I modify the automated facility to do a "copy" mode type
backup?
Thanks for your Help,
