It sounds like there may be some corruption if it's balking on the backup. I've noticed the backup software what ever it may be is more sensitive to corruption than exchange it's self. M

I used to back up Exchange 5.5 remotely from file servers with no issues. On my local server I have TSM, but in the UK office - which this is about - it's now not working. I am currently using the backup on the Exchange server to dump to the file server, but that takes up 40gb on the file server that could be better used for other data. Beyond that, the backup on the file server is complaining about not being able to take a good backup of the .bkf file from the Exchange server, thus my efforts to get the remote backup running.
