Wow, that's pretty harsh, don't you think? Are only MS employees and Directory Services MVPs allowed to make smart-ass comments or have opinions?
Ed is a very well known and well respected Exchange MVP. And he happens to be right, in my opinion. Any Exchange administrator should be well aware of what the status of his last backup was. And if it failed, he should be fixing it. And if he doesn't, then he is at fault if any problems arise due to that. A log volume filling up because of a failed backup is pure negligence. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rick Kingslan Sent: Monday, November 07, 2005 3:11 PM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] FYI: MS-KBQ909360 - Potential file corruption on NTFS volumes Ed - With all due respect, both posts that you've made in response to this thread have been negative (George Carlin hasn't written anything original... Blah, blah...) and the fact that I mention that I should beat my admin because of missing a backup. How I choose to treat my employees is my business. I'm not sure why I'm even bothering to defend myself to you. Please. If you have nothing of value to add - don't respond. If you want to be a valued member of the list - try being nice. Or, if it's just me you don't like - filter me out of your list. I really don't appreciate the off-handed, single thought retorts. Who ARE you, anyway?

Miss one or two backups and that volume that holds your log files might experience this issue with no fault of the admin at all. (Well, except for the fact that your backup system didn't page the person in charge to notify it didn't run... Or, that person chose not to respond.) Regardless... Poo-poo happens.
