MS Exchange Backup and Restore API problem

[Pierch]

Hello!

I am trying to develope a simple application to backup a multiple
exchange information store database using the ESE Backup API described
in the esebcli2.dll.
The problem is that i can get the *.edb and the *.log files, but i
can't get the *.stm files! Also the HrESEBackupPrepare function returns
only 1 instance to backup, and that one is always the first one in
alphabetical order (i have 4 storage groups mounted!).

How can get all the files needed for the backup?
How do i get all the other instances(public and private)?

Can anyone help me?

Thanks,

Pierch

Hi.

We are developing a backup prototype using ESE Backup API. We are facing the
exactly same problem described by Pierch:
- we are getting only the first Information Store from the alphabetical
listening (the Information Store table contains exactly 1 element, however we
have configured 3 private stores - each store has at least one mailbox
containing at least some mails).

- we are unable to get .stm,... files

Does anyone have a hint on what is going on? Why the API doesn't function as
described on MSDN site - even the provided prototype lists only one
Information Store.

My configuration:
Win2003 Enterprise Server + Exchange2003sp1 << all is running on one machine
(so the machine is an AD, DNS and Exchange server).

Thanks and best regards,

I'm posting this again from my account to get a reply ;)

I guess the below problem is caused by not-enough permissions on the
Exchange store. What are the requirements to get all Information Stores and
other needed files for a backup by using ESE API (the problem is described in
previous post)?

Thanks and best regards,
