Well, that generally means you need to find the FIRST ntbackup that failed and look at its logfile and the event log it generated when it failed. The error you mention is caused by a backup not cleaning up after itself. You can clear it by restarting the Information Store service. Every night you should have a ESE online maintenance task that runs and generates a 1221 event that tells you how much white space is in your databases. What did that say? Is this Enterprise or Standard Edition? From: David W. McSpadden [mailto:dav...@imcu.org] Sent: Tuesday, March 03, 2009 10:19 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Exchange 2003 store sizes? 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).
