Hi,
I have a Windows Server with another Terminal Services Server. I have setup
a backup on the server to happen every night with a DAT tape. As you might
have noticed from earlier posts this is now getting quite full. I have also
noticed that there isn't a backup facility on the TS so the main server is
backing up C and D on that machine which basically includes all the shared
folders that have been setup but nothing is backing up the Database folder
on TS or any of the users files under C:\Documents and Settings\User. Each
user is using pop3 email through outlook via their TS login so I suppose
their emails aren't being backed up either.

Any suggestions as to the best way of backing all this up correctly would be
appreciated.
Cheers
Lenny

Hello Lenny,

Do you run it with a script? Please post the script content here.

Also have a look on this articles about the remote backup:

What do you use to backup the data? NTBACKUP should be available on any
server. You could back up the desired folders to a file on the server
with the tape drive and backup them up that way.. Be advised, though,
that "in use" files won't get backed up...

What kind of database? Most that I've used (SQL, MSDE) keep the database
"in use". One has to run a job that will back up the database to a file.
That file can be backed up to tape.
