Yeah, I am familiar with the list and it basically says that Brick Level= BAD. The
reasoning behind this is because it takes up more space on the backup tape and makes
your backup window larger.But if it doesn't matter that the brick level backup is
taking up more tape space and the backup window isn't an issue then its not so bad at
all.
Like I said before, I don't rely on Brick Level as a restore method for the server but
if the Big Boss accidently (stupidly) deletes a message or folder within his mailbox
and wants it back and the only way to recover it is with a recent Brick Level backup,
I dont he wants to hear that we disabled it because it took to much time. When tape
space and backup windows become an issue this will be the first option to be disabled
witin the backups. Also, Im not too worried about relying on the Brick Level Backup
because I have the deleted item & mailbox retention set both to 30 days since the
backup rotation is for 30 days, so I am covered. Oh well, thanks for the help!

Please keep conversations on-list.
I take it you're unfamiliar with the Exchange FAQ at
http://www.swinc.com?

What do you mean by crappy backup methodology? I dont rely on individual
mailbox backups for the server, only just in case a message or folder
needs to be restored instead of rebuilding the whole server!

This isn't corrupt information. It's crappy backup methodology.

Subject: Corrupt Email in Exchange 2000
Hello All,
I am having an interesting problem with Exchange 2000 & BackupExec 8.6.
Over the past few weeks, I have been getting errors within BackupExec8.6
when it backs up indivdual mailboxes in Exchange 2000. There are two
mailboxes where it finds messages that it can't access so therefore it
skips it. One of the messages is as follows:
Unable to open the item Howard Perl [howardp]?Top of Information
Store?Inbox?read?oldham?LEXINGTON PO#57016699 - skipped.
Access denied to file ?Howard Perl [howardp]?Top of Information
Store?Inbox?read?oldham?LEXINGTON PO#57016699.
This happens on a dozen or so emails within two mailboxes but none of
the others. Both of these mailboxes belong to users of RIM Blackberry's.
This is the only thing that I can see that can be causing the problem.
Anyway, when I got into the mailbox and drill down to the exact message
that it is skiiping, I can't even open it within Outlook (this is both
as the user and as Administrator).
The first time to problem came up, I just deleted the messages that
Outlook said couldn't access or was corrupt and the problem went away
for a few days but now its back. I search on Technet for corrupt
messages and find nothing but articles on corrupt stores and mta, etc.
Has anybody seen this happen before and found a solution? I called
Veritas tech Support and the basically say that if outlook can't open
the message then it has to do with Exchange2k and not backupexec. The
Exchange server is running W2KSP2 and E2KSP2, it is also running Trend
Scanmail and Norton AntiVirus Corp Edition. BackupExec is on another
server and the remote agent is installed on the mail server. Any
ideas?!?!?
