Hi,



We have decided to move our server from Server 2003 Standard
to Small Business Server 2003. The problem is I need to know how to backup the
5 Exchange mailboxes we have on it. The idea would be to backup to another hard
drive and then restore the mailboxes on the new OS. How would we do this?
Baring in mind we can™t use the wizard and move them as there wouldn™t
be a new server to move them too.



Regards,



DK

If the mailboxes aren't in the same org you get to use
Exmerge

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=429163ec-dcdf-47dc-96da-1c12d67327d5&displaylang=en

 or use Outlook to download everything to a PST and then
connect to the new server and upload everything from the
PST.

For 5 mailboxes, just export them to PST files from
Outlook, and then re-import them when connected to the new
server.

That is one way to skin the cat....

You break the single instance store though..... how do you have the
Exchange on there now?
Sounds like you can do a couple of ways.....inplace is one way, if the
domain is the same, forklift....

Can you do that for mailboxes > 2Gb?

If you use Outlook 2003 to do the Export/Import, then you can have a PST
> 2Gb. Unfortunately Exmerge doesn't support PST's > 2Gb yet (it would
be nice of MS to update that tool).
