I'd try a few things. 1. Reinstall the BE agent, making sure it's the same version as the server product (I've seen updates that get this mismatched). 2. Go through and recreate your backup selection list for the server. Check to make sure shadow copy components is unchecked (Veritas has a technote out about this; I don't recall it offhand...) and that the correct items have been selected and the correct method (full) and source and destination locations are correct. 3. Crank up the logging on BE. 4. Do a backup to disk if you have space to isolate a tape write problem from a network problem - streaming large files can be a problem for some tape drives. I've seen driver/firmware updates double the tape speed, and the old drivers were "working fine a few days ago". 5. Have you stopped and restarted the store since the mailbox moves? 6. Look at your transaction logs. Is circular logging on or off? When moving mailboxes, if circular logging is on, your transaction logs will increase in size exponentially (I found that they would fill my disk if I moved too many at once without a backup in between; I turned off circular logging for the moves). Your logs might be as big as your DB (or bigger). If you turn off circular logging for the mailbox moves, stop and restart the store.
See if any of that helps, especially #6... ********************** Charlie Kaiser MCSE, CCNA Systems Engineer Essex Credit / Brickwalk 510 595 5083 ********************** > -----Original Message----- > From: Waters, Jeff [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, July 13, 2004 12:28 PM > To: Exchange Discussions > Subject: RE: Ex 5.5 --> Ex2K3 Migration + Veritas > > 1) Yes, these backups were all running at about 230M/min > before the 1st > batch of moves. > 2) No, the move is completed about 3 hours before the backup kicks off > 3) We are running NAV for windows, but have all the \exchange folders > excluded from the real-time scan.
