as soon as the boss
comes in and authorizes the 250 I am going to call pss and see what
could have caused this. The server is only three months old.
Then see what they suggest. I will post what they recommend.
I was looking on tech tips and there are a lot of us in this
boat.

ok - Circular

in the priv.edb. UGH.
Offline backup

We back up our E2k servers with BE 8.5 from a different machine than the Exchange servers. We backed up our EX5.5 server the same way for several years before that using Veritas software w/o resorting to BLB. I would also question having the option checked to use OFO-shouldn't need it for just the stores (again, separate the job from your drive backups, where you can use OFO).

RE: Backup Exec Problem - update
Title: Message Disabled circular logging. Updated BE with latest build - (don't know the number the backup guy did it) Using exchange service account as backup account for this job. Rebuilt backup job without open file option and not backing up anything on that server except system stat and IS and DS with flush committed logs. Did a restart of the services before backup ran. Zero errors. Still dies at flushing logs. Now I am thinking of going to a new backup software - anyone use commvault?

RE: Backup Exec Problem
Title: Message Not sure what Veritas has suggested already, but it sounds like it might be a permissions issue. I wouldnt want to leave it this way, but have you tried attaching to the server for backups by using the exchange service account and then only backing up the last two items (Directory and Information Store)? We back up our E2k servers with BE 8.5 from a different machine than the Exchange servers. We backed up our EX5.5 server the same way for several years before that using Veritas software w/o resorting to BLB. I would also question having the option checked to use OFOshouldnt need it for just the stores (again, separate the job from your drive backups, where you can use OFO). One other thinghave you attempted to run this at a different time? Scheduled jobs or other Exchange tasks might be running in the night.
