How-to run Win2k3 NTBackup on Windows Server 2008
Copy the following binaries from Windows 2k3 server (C:\Windows\System32\) to Windows Server 2008 (C:\Program Files\NTBackup\):
- ntbackup.exe
- ntmsapi.dll
- vssapi.dll
Then install the removable storage manager from server manager:
- Start Server Manager
- Click Features
- Click Add Features
- Select Removable Storage Manager
- Click Install
When NTBackup starts, if you see an error regarding removable storage, just ignore it and click “Do not show this again”.
I’m not sure, but it seems that it backup Exchange 2007 Databases too, for me it worked, but I didn’t tested restoring them.
