Stratesave 6.0 Organized Backup Program Help Files

Network Database Backup

Stratesave supports databases backed up remotely. This works even if the server Software is not installed. For example a Windows Vista or XP Professional can fully backup a Windows 2008 or 2003 Server with SQL and Exchange Server databases.

SQL Server

Stratesave uses ODBC32 driver, which is included with Windows. It is not always possible to provide remote access username/password, so username/password on Stratesave backup computer should match with SQL server. Also the SQL Server must be configured for remote TCP/IP access, and the backup Server where Stratesave is run should have actual version of SQL client connectivity (MDAC) or the latest Windows service pack installed.

Exchange Server

Stratesave uses EDBBCLI.DLL for Exchange Server 5.5, ESEBCLI2.DLL for Exchange Server 2007/2003/2000 (ESE98). These dlls don't come with Windows, but they can be copied from Exchange server to backup server (\Windows\system32 or Stratesave program directory). It is not possible to provide remote access username/password, so username/password on Stratesave backup computer should match with Exchange server. For remote backup of Exchange Server 2007/2003/2000 selecting server with IP-address currently does not work, so servername must be specified instead of server's IP-address.

For Exchange Server 2007, remote backup of Exchange Server must be enabled on the Exchange Server computer. Create registry DWORD Value HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSExchangeIS\ParametersSystem\Enable Remote Streaming Backup, set it to value 1. If the backup computer where Stratesave runs is 32-bit, but the Exchange Server is 64-bit, copy ESEBCLI2.DLL from 32-bit Exchange version to backup server. Similarly, if Exchange Server is 32-bit but Backup Server is 64-bit, 64-bit ESEBCLI2.DLL from 64-bit Exchange installation is required on backup Server. Use the latest ESEBCLI2.DLL from Exchange Server 2007 for backup/restore of Exchange Server 2007.

If problems occur during remote database backup or restore, please check first that logged in username/password has remote Administrator access on the remote computer to be backed up or restored. Also check for Eventlog-messages on Exchange Server.
