Q .: how do I backup an Exchange or SQL Sever?
There are several ways to back up both Exchange Server and SQL Server
databases.
EXCHANGE - Remote backup software (v. 9.0+) natively backs up open and live
Exchange databases. You can also exclude specific Exchange user account folders (e.g.
Junk Mail, Deleted Items, etc.) from selected mailboxes, and back up only new
messages in selected folders after the initial backup is complete - thereby
shortening backup sessions and insuring that you back up only the most critical data.
You can even set the Exchange backups so that as new users are added to Exchange,
they are also added to the backup system. Restores are at the mail-folder level, per
user. There's no need to shut down the Exchange server for either backups or
restores. This is a standard feature at no additional charge.
Refer to the client's help manual for more information on Exchange Server.

Q .: what backup type should I choose for Exchange?
for Exchange Server data (Mailboxes): use Incremental Backup.
Use the built-in Exchange Backup Agent to backup all the Mailboxes. Read the
Client's Help/Manual for more information on Exchange. The agent does a full
backup the first time it runs, and then backs up only new exchange emails or objects
(or tasks, contacts, etc). There is no need to do a first full and then switch to
Incremental. Just start out with Incremental backup for Exchange.

Q .: what backup type should I choose for backing up SQL
Databases?
SQL SERVER - Remote Backup software (v. 9.0+) natively backs up and restores SQL
Server databases while they are open and live. It also supports multiple instances of
SQL Server while they are in use on a single machine, one per backup job, so
there's no need to shut down the SQL Server.
BitBackup is the recommended backup method used for SQL Server
Use the built-in SQL Backup Agent to backup all SQL databases. If you come across
more than one instance of SQL Server installed on a system, you can backup the second
instance as well by creating a new backup set for the second instance.
The built-in SQL backup agent, always does a full backup of the database by running
SQL built-in queries. Then, the agent does a Bitbackup against this backup file, thus
transferring only the changed bits to the remote server.
Refer to the client's help manual for more information on SQL Server.

Q .: IPC port error with Exchange on 2008 64-bit Windows
Server
The Error with ´IPC Port´ is usually caused when the service
´ExchangeBackupService´ is not running. Check under Control Panel: Admin
Tools: Services, and make sure that the service ´ExchangeBackupService´ is
running. If the service is stopped, start the service and restart the client
software.
Solution 2:
Reinstalling the software in the normal "Program Files" folder instead of
x86 will also fix this issue.
