Running Veritas Version 8.60, Rev 3808 against Exchange 5.5 SP4/Win2k SP2. Due to the loss of people within the company, I am having to start learning some of the BU stuff. Before, I have just let our BU guy configure it all. I THINK I know what the settings should be, based on what I have read on Veritas and on this list, but I'm going to list what I know and let you folks confirm or deny my knowledge.
In the properties of the backup job, our BU Admin has the "Database and Logs (Flush committed logs)" option selected as the Backup Method (that's good). We also have it set to NEVER use the Open File Option (that's good too). Under the "Selections" tab of the BU job properties, under the Exchange server, the tracking.log option is grayed out. So he has selected: 1. The c$\exchsrvr\tracking.log directory 2. The MS Exchange Directory (should uncheck this option) 3. The MS Exchange Info Store These three items would appear to correlate to the three rules below in the "Selection rules" of the BU job for the mailbox servers, correct? \\servername\c$\exchsrvr\tracking.log\*.* /SUBDIR \\servername\Microsoft Exchange Directory\*.* /SUBDIR \\ERCEX06\Microsoft Exchange Information Store\*.* /SUBDIR >From the main Backup Exec console, under the Tools / Options / Set Application Defaults property page / Exchange tab, the same backup method is selected. However, under the Restore section, we have 1) "No loss restore", 2) "Restore public folder" and 3) "Restore Private Mailboxes" options all checked. Is this correct?

You should be backing that up. It's a separate object. And you should be excluding the C:\Exchsrvr\*data (note wildcard) directories from your file backup. If you're running Exchange 200x, you should also exclude the mailroot directory and the M: drive from the file-based backup.

I thought that in order to backup the PRIV.EDB file you have to stop the exchange services? Any ideas?

You either use NTBackup, or use a 3rd party backup utility with an Exchange Agent. If you decide to not use either of those 2 methods, you sure as heck better stop the Exchange services first, otherwise you will be attempting to back up an open database file as a flat file. Not good!

I have a simple, but probably dumb question. I need some ammo though before I get back to one of my employees about what he's doing. Can someone just verify what I'm saying....... It is not possible to back-up the PRIV.EDB files on Exchange 5.5 unless you stop the Exchange services right? One of my guys is trying to run a veritas backup that includes the PRIV.EDB file, and the file is skipped during the back-up operation. I advised him as to why it does this, and how to correctly do it. He still swears that it's veritas software screwing up... Any help would be great, Thanks Paul -----Original Message----- From: Sargent, Rob [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, June 30, 2003 1:53 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Auto Accept Utility stopped working (FYI the mailbox needs Owner rights.) So if the EventConfig permissions are set, reinstall the AutoAccept script on the mailbox and you should be able to test it immediately. If that doesn't work, try stopping and starting the Event service again and retest. -----Original Message----- From: Mitchell Mike [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, June 30, 2003 1:42 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Auto Accept Utility stopped working Rob, I found it and set the permissions.

Have you set up the client permissions for the mailbox in the EventConfig folder? I've forgotten to do that on occasion. And I think I learned the hard way that if this step was missed, you need to uninstall the Autoaccept script again, set up the EventConfig settings, then reinstall the script.

I thought that was the case, so I deleted the AutoAccept folder on the resource. I then ran the AutoAccept utility script on that new resource. I checked the event Service and it was running. Nothing happened. I then stopped and started the service again. To no avail. Nothing happens. Help!!!! Thanks...

You must reinstall the script on the new server and ensure that the Event Service is running.
