X-merge

Hi

I am looking to use X-merge as a backup method for our mailboxes in an exchange 2003 environment, its a small shop so we don't have the facility to go out and by anything extravagent so i am looking to setup xmerge to copy the mailboxes as PST files by using a batch script that runs over night and copys the PST to a location where i can then robocopy from.

I have robocopy running fine so that is taken care of what i don't have is any exapmle scripts of xmerge that could be run in a batch file to copy the mailboxes. I have heard this is possible does anyone have any idea how to do this and have an example script specifiying particular mailboxes or servernames.

any help is appreciated

thanks
Andy

Even though XMerge is a good utility. If it's a small enough shop you might consider the built in WIndows Backup. 2003 comes with back that has an exchange component. You backup the store database and your done. Then you just have to deal with copying that set of info.

Try reading the EXMERGE.DOC file that is on the Exchange CD. This has a full explanation of EXMERGE and its uses. I believe that it also has a sample script for what you want to do. If it doesn't have a sample script, it will explain how to run EXMERGE in BATCH mode.
