Hi All, I have a weird one. I "inherited" this one around 20 hours ago. Its Exchange 2k (build 4417.5 - what SP is that?) on Win2k server SP1. The server has not been backed up since March 2000, if at all.
The priv.edb is 3.5Gb, the log files are 15.5Gb - they ran out of drive space yesterday. Backup Exec gives "access denied to directory" when trying to backup the information store. NTBackup completes in 1 sec and skips all files, saying they cannot be restored. BE runs as local system on the same machine. I tried creating a new user, adding it to Exchange Servers group and fed it to backup exec - same error. I also tried - for troubleshooting purposes - delegating full control of the exchange organisation to the everyone group with no luck. I have reversed these changes. Any thoughts on where I should look? I suspect active directory might be broken - I don't know the history to be sure.
