Hey Folks - This
list has been so helpful I am dipping into the well once
again.
We are not getting a
solid backup of our exchange server. We have contacted Veritas and done
every step they suggested and we have had zero luck.
Environment:
Exchange 5.5 sp4
running on Windows 2000K SP2 Circular logging enabled until I can get a
solid backup.
Backup Exec 8.5
running on NT 4. SP 6a
Remote agents and
Exchange agents installed (and reinstalled ad naseum)
It seems to be
failing on the logs. I have a 25 gigs of space on the log drive so I can
disable circular but I am concerned of the ramifications of that as well without
a solid backup. I have full access to the server as I CAN do a Brick Level
Backup but for obvious reasons would prefer not to.
TIA for any direction!
Here is the output
of the log file. The server name has been changed to protect the
innocent.

I was sad because I had no shoes,
until I met a man who had no feet. So I said, "Got any shoes you're not using?"
