This is normal when you're doing your first pass and backing up "the box".
You should either ignore those errors or exclude them from the backup.
Depending on how you've optimised the Exchange you could exclude the entire
folder. Only do this if the log files, which also sit in an MDBDATA
directory, are in a different directory than the directory that the pub and
priv files sit in.

Subject: [exchangelist] Arcserve backup - clear up this confusion


http://www.MSExchange.org/

I'm using Arcserve 2000 to backup my Exchange 5.5 server.  When I attempt to

backup the priv and pub .edb it won't backup.  It tells me that there is a 
sharing violation.   I do have the agent.  When I look at my backup job I'm 
backing up D$\exchsrvr\MDBDATA\PUB.EDB and D$\exchsrvr\MDBDATA\PRIV.EDB and 
C:\exchsrvr\dsadata\temp.edb and c:\exchsrvr\mdbdata\tmp.edb.  All I see is 
(SHARING VIOLATION).

I don't know if this is normal because down below I see that I am backing up

dbaexch\Information Store.  If I am backing up the Information Store then do

I really have to back up these others?  I'm really confused at this point...

  Thanks!!
