.....Typical!:lol:

Restore to different location checked? perchance?

Doesn't exist as such in Win2k NTBACKUP..... that's what I was trying to find!

JPM, still need urgently a receptionist in Knutsford, just for one week (well, 4 days now), if you want to slip a skirt on and chill out!:lol:
No back ups,
No server manager backups!
No missing data!
Just a nice little switchboard to manage for four days

Sounds tempting... is it close to Canute Cafe?

:lol:

Alan

Best of luck with the restore, they're the bain(?) of my life as well.

Oh.... don't want me now then eh? LOL!!

You spent all that time on MS site for that? doesn't include exchange though, plus I'm wasn't doing a restore from the server in question to another location, not sure if I explained well enough, I have the tape from the server in another server for recovery (off-line) but NTBACKUP prompts to overwrite the live data, not restore to the off-line server

Was it a second tab with the option to overwrite or specify a different location? Or was it the hidden button with "Advanced" on it?:lol:

As my old headmaster used to say "Every day a day at school".
doesn't sound like you do things by half does it?
