Did your backups hang or one particular database take a long time to backup?

Examining the app log afterwards, I see that we got several dozen of the following events starting about an hour before we had to restart: Log Name: Application Source: MSExchangeIS Date: 2/1/2010 8:58:24 AM Event ID: 9786 Task Category: Database Storage Engine Level: Warning Keywords: Classic User: N/A Computer: S-EXCH-IRV-6.ds1.ltcorp.tree Description: The database engine has consumed 70% of the "version store buckets" resource (11613 used out of a maximum of 16386) for storage group Managers-1'. Log Name: Application Source: MSExchangeIS Mailbox Store Date: 2/1/2010 8:56:28 AM Event ID: 9828 Task Category: Background Cleanup Level: Warning Keywords: Classic User: N/A Computer: S-EXCH-IRV-6.ds1.ltcorp.tree Description: Background cleanup of folders for database ExecSysAdmin\ExecSysAdmin' was pre-empted because the database engine's version store was growing too large. Before the task was pre-empted, 1 folders were inspected and 0 of those were successfully deleted. Note that the two warnings are about two different stores on the same box. There were two of these events: Log Name: Application Source: ESE Date: 2/1/2010 9:30:23 AM Event ID: 623 Task Category: Transaction Manager Level: Error Keywords: Classic User: N/A Computer: S-EXCH-IRV-6.ds1.ltcorp.tree Description: MSExchangeIS (27084) Users-1: The version store for this instance (9) has reached its maximum size of 511Mb. It is likely that a long-running transaction is preventing cleanup of the version store and causing it to build up in size. Updates will be rejected until the long-running transaction has been completely committed or rolled back. Possible long-running transaction: SessionId: 0x000007FFFFC82780 Session-context: 0x00000000 Session-context ThreadId: 0x0000000000006D10 Cleanup: 1 For more information, click http://www.microsoft.com/contentredirect.asp. One for each of the stores mentioned above. They occurred about 10 minutes before we decide to bounce the store. I haven't really been able to do much other investigating; I've also got a family medical emergency that is taking most of my attention. I was hoping someone could give me a few clues that woulds help me get my life back to just 90 mph. Any suggestions? BTW - these machies were both at version Version: 08.02.0176.002 - other places show it as Version 8.2 (Build 176.2) I do see some suggestions when you click in the web links in the event log; I'm sure they're pointing in the right direction - I was just hoping to cheat a little bit & get a headstart if you will..... Thanks in advance! Russ
