Hey, Thanks for the reply. Which system mailboxes are you speaking about? I have Backup Exec on another exchange server and I get the error messages with user mailboxes also. I just tend to ignore them. I spent many hours on the phone with veritas on the phone about these error messages.
I'm not sure what you mean by BLB. The reason why I want to backup individual mailboxes is for house keeping. I will continue to backup the IS, but would like to backup individual mailboxes also. Just in case if a user needs to restore individual mail, then I would not need to restore the entire IS. If I can restore individual mailboxes it would be faster and easier then the whole IS. > I don't think there is an issue with Outlook being on the server.
