Patricia, You will need Data Protection for Exchange version 5.2.1 in order to back up Exchange Server 2003. You can find that information here: http://www-1.ibm.com/support/entdocview.wss?uid=swg21157215 (Data Protection for Exchange information is at the bottom this article.) Thanks, Del

See my earlier response to this append. There is also something in the append below that is not correct that I wanted to point out. Data Protection for SQL 5.2.1 does not "manage the backups and delete the expired backup by himself". That was true with the very old version 1 of the product. But s

Robert, This means that the Exchange Server thinks that an Exchange backup is already being run on that storage group. That could mean one of two things: 1. A backup is actually still running on that storage group. ...or... 2. A previous backup has hung or prematurely ended. If a prev

Bill, All I can say is that Microsoft found a problem in MDAC that they had to fix. Every time we have seen the "[DBNETLIB]ConnectionRead (WrapperRead())" error when backing up with Data Protection for SQL, it has turned out to be KB827452. I think I remember something about registry entries being

Bill, Microsoft SQL Server allows you to have multiple "named" instances of the SQL Server running at the same time on the same machine. Each "instance" has its own set of system and user databases. Each "instance" is identified by a unique name. Logically, you can think of each SQL Server "insta
