Blackberry server 4.0

I have a BES 4.0 running on Win 2003 Enterprise.  I like to know what I should backup for the BES so that if I loss BES, I can restore it as long with all Blackberry accounts.  I backup the system state often for the OS but nothing for BES yet.
Thx

BES runs on MSDE or a full Microsoft SQL database.  Your options for backup are different depending on which option you decided on when installing the BES.  So, did you go with MSDE or did you put the Blackberry database on an SQL server?

If it's on MSDE, the links above should be just fine.  If it's SQL, you can configure SQL do to a nightly dump of the Blackberry database, and then backup the directory containing the database dumps in your nightly backups.  I can give you better directoins if you let me know which database option you picked (MSDE vs SQL) and what backup software you're  using.
