The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Windows server 2003 backup utility does not backup all folders

Asked by JakeBushnell in Windows 2003 Server, SBS Small Business Server

Tags: 2003, windows, backup, utility

Hello, I am having a rather disconcerting problem with by backup utility. For some reason it is not backing up all the data I select. For instance I normally select the System State, and a folder called  “alpine” form my hard drive. Under the alpine folder there is a folder called “Jobs” which has about 2000 folders under it each one representing a job.

Last week a database maintenance went foul (user error of course) and deleted a bunch of these highly important Job folders. I wasn’t too concerned because “hey, I have a daily backup!”  Problem was when I went to restore that backup, the folders under “Jobs” quit somewhere towards the bottom (around the “Wh’s alphabetically) this left over 200 missing. VERY BAD DEAL!!! After much worrying and data recovery tools we were able to get some of them back but not all.

My problem is how can I make SURE that ALL the folders in under the jobs folder are backup? I can’t manually select them because there are many new ones created every day and I don’t want to manually change the backup every evening. Why doesn’t the backup utility include ALL the folders under the one I select?

Thanks in advance!
