backup servers in a mixed windows server environment to Iscsi 2003 / 2008s /2008r2 `
My problem is that i have
2003 server
2008 server standard
2008 r2 server
exchange server.
they have an iscsi to unit to backup to:
My problem is that each version treats the iscsi different since it is dynamic disk
My question is that i cannot do incrementals unless i make the volume soley for backups for 2008r2
then what happens to 2003 server backups to the volume.
I create the volume soley for backups using windows 2008r2 backup then the other servers will not be able
to backup am i correct on this.... Please advise.
this is just to start...

You can also perform this task remotely for another server using the Connect To Another Computer option in the Windows Server Backup Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-in. Make sure that you are a member of the Administrators or Backup Operators group
on the remote server. If you are a Backup Operator, ensure that the Distributed Component Object Model (DCOM) security settings on the remote computer are set to allow Backup Operators to connect to it.
You can only use this feature if the local and remote servers are running the same version of Windows—either both running Windows Server 2008 or both running Windows Server 2008 R2. In addition, you cannot use this feature to manage a computer running
any version of Windows client operating system.

Has anyone ran into this problem
that you have a mixed server environment
you have simple basic iscsi disk and the different versions of ntbackup and wsb cannot see the files and report unreliable disk usage / space.
is there a way to backup server 2003 -> 2008r2 using WSB or do i have split the iscsi for Ntbackup and one for wsb ???????
anyone have an answer...
