I had a situation where the edb size was about double the size of all the mailboxes together. It turns out that an email archiving solution that had been recently implemented was creating a lot of Restricted Views, which take up space in the database but don't show up in the mailbox sizes.
Anything like that recently implemented? ________________________________ From: David W.

I am looking in System Manager at Mailbox sizes and then I am looking at the priv1.edb that is 64 GB's. I don't see the correlation between the two? What gives? Why is the priv1 so big and the mailboxes so small? I am getting this error when the NTBackup runs at night?? The 'Microsoft Information Store' returned 'Error returned from an ESE function call (d).
