These are the notes I have: Be sure that the permissions are accurate, and that the IMS mailbox is not being backed up. I was also informed that: a.. It is not necessary to back up the Exchserver folder on the hard drive (Exchange agent handles this) b.. It is not necessary to back up the MSSQL folder on the hard drive c.. A media set must be created to adjust the overwrite options on the tapes. By default, the media set does not allow overwrites, and that is why we ALWAYS had to blank out tapes before they could be used (even new tapes). This will save us time on all backups d.. A status of FAILED on a backup does NOT mean that the backup is bad. You must look at the log itself to verify which portions of the Backup did fail. All other elements are good, and can be restored. A BLB is considered very bad practice, and unnecessary. If you want to restore individual items, and have the Store space, institute DIR. You won't have to restore items for users anymore either. THEY can do it. Cheers

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.
