Backup Central

In case anyone is interested, I modified our Powershell script for full backup of our Exchange databases so that it now backs up multiple concurrent Storage Groups in a single script (because I'm too darn lazy to deal with multiple node names, schedules, etc).

In our case, it dropped elapsed times from 36hr to 11hr, running 4 concurrent threads.

If anyone would like a copy, just contact me.

Steve, would love to get a copy of this. Question. Does it clear the logs after each DB backup or after the entire job finishes?

When a list participant offers a script or other aid, and instructs those interested to contact him or her to obtain a copy, the thing to do is directly email that person at the address they provided for this purpose. This will prevent all the annoying "me too" mails which clutter the inboxes of the 1500 participants of the list, who can do nothing to provide the aid, and save space on the List Server which Marist graciously hosts.

On that subject, is there a central repository somewhere on this site or elsewhere that we could use to share scripts? I don't mind email, but it doesn't help the person who comes looking for an answer a month from now.

Hi Steve,

If I'm correct there is a "download" section in ADSM.ORG forum, that could be used for such purposes ...
