There's one great solution to this and many other problems: Back up the Information Store object and not individual mailboxes.

The mapi32.dll file is very sensitive and reports errors on messages as cannot open and thus will show the status of backup as failed. There isnt really much you can do about this, except ask the user to delete the message its referencing in the error message from his mailbox and empty it from deleted items. I have spent some time with veritas and they point fingers at microsoft and i spoke to microsoft and they point the fingers back to veritas, veritas knows of this issue and they say they are looking at a solution and should be out in the next build for backup exec8.6, i know you use netbackup so maybe you should look into their next build for netbackup. Even though this error pops up and the overall status of the backup job shows up as failed, the backup in actuality is successful, you can restore the users mailbox and the only thing missing would be those messages that it reported as corrupted or cannot open. So dont loose any sleep over this you are fine. dONT LISTEN TO PEOPLE TELLING YOU NOT TO DO BRICK LEVEL BACKUPS, ITS ABSOLUTELY NECCESSARY TO DO BRICK LEVEL BACKUPS, IT WILL SAVE YOU SO MUCH HEADACHE AND HEART ACHE LATER..TRUST ME. -----Original Message----- From: Kulwinder [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, June 10, 2002 10:31 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Veritas Netbackup error on MSX 5.5 Thanks for the info. > Well then, might i suggest, as Andy and no doubt other admins would > recommend, that you should stop doing BLB's.
