Setting up backup system for server 2003 server
I am trying to setup a backup system for my enterprise's server.
It is running server 2003 x64. The server is the primary DC, and the sole Exchange 2007 server.
It is located in a datacenter. I have a computer in my office that has removable hard drives attached that can store backups. (and can be accessed via ftp)
On the server, I have vmware server installed. There is a virtual machine also running server 2003 (but x86) that hosts a sharepoint server, and is also a secondary DC.
I need to figgure out a way that i can back all of this up, so that if the primary server fails, i can restore it (I think the datacenter can only install a clean image, then i need to restore it on top of the image)
thanks.

This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
It could - but in that case, I would suggest that you store the backups from Backup Exec at the remote site. You could always 'rent' some more rackspace - in the form of a second server - and use that as your 'Backup Server' in the remote site.
By having no VPN link between sites, it will be difficult to transfer any form of backup between the remote site and your local office.

would backup exec still work?
