Since with it on, there is only one log file, and that file is open and being written too, you may have issues backing it up. Also, be sure you are up to the latest version of 8.5, which would be this one http://seer.support.veritas.com/docs/235822.htm -----Original Message----- From: Zangara, Jim [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, March 22, 2002 10:18 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Backup Exec Problem 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.
