How to reinstall NTBACKUP SBS 2003
SBS 2003 SP2
I am having a problem with the ntbackup software on this exchange server. Whenever I try to configure anything through ntbackup the software will either hang or the menus will scramble. I only use ntbackup to get exchange backups and the job that is scheduled will run (although I have disabled it because it is not working). I also use Acronis to grab a full disc image, but we do not have the exchange portion of the Acronis software. About six months ago I upgraded this server and was able to merge everything over to the new box with Acronis universal restore, but for giggles I tried restoring the exchange with the ntbackup exchange backup. This failed and I do not remember the exact error, but looking back on the old logs I found this from an old backup:
