RE: Backup issue in Exchange 2007

2011-01-14 Thread Leedy, Andy
The server only runs Exchange 2007.  Any danger of removing the VSS max limit 
and having Exchange crash due to lack of free space during the backup? I assume 
you mean remove VSS limit on the D and E drives (see below)?

Here is the current setup:

OS, logs and DB all on separate drives.

Drive Data   SizeFree
C OS  68gb  40gb
D Logs   136gb130gb
E  DB  836gb387gb

You should REMOVE the VSS max limit and allow VSS to police itself.

That being said - my advice is appropriate if only Exchange is on that volume. 
If other things are installed, then all bets are off. :-P

Subject: Backup issue in Exchange 2007

It appears that the VSS file is changing or something, so that the backup is 
not able to verify.  I believe the Backup is ok, but it would be nice to 
verify.  Does anyone have any ideas how to resolve the issue?  Do I need to 
increase the VSS max limit?

We are using Backup Exec 12.5 I believe.

Backup log contains this warning:

latest Backup Exec. Volume D contains the databases. The largest is around 120

RE: Backup issue in Exchange 2007

2011-01-14 Thread Michael B. Smith
No danger of that as long as the backup itself doesn't crash. If you are 
concerned about THAT possibility then set the shadow storage to a more 
reasonable number, such as 5 GB. The current values are way too low for an 
active server.

I made the change to 5 GB on the OS drive, and 10 GB on the DB and Log drive.
Running the backup now.
