BACKTEST: Creating Backup Files

The BACKTEST sample application demonstrates how to create a backup and restore utility for Microsoft Exchange Server files. A default backup and restore utility is part of Microsoft Exchange Server software, but BACKUP demonstrates how to use the backup and restore application programming interfaces to create your own backup and restore utilities. BACKUP contains utilities to back up the directory information and the information store. It can also be used to perform remote backups.

BACKTEST is a simple application that does not contain all the functionality you would probably design in such an application for commercial use. It is provided as an example of functionality that can be presented.

    To build BACKTEST
  1. Change to the directory containing the BACKTEST source files:

    \BKOFFICE\SAMPLES\EXCHANGE\BACKTEST

  2. Type NMAKE.
