If you are running Exchange 5.5, Circular Logging is enabled by default and will prohibit you from backing up the database. For you to sucessfully backup your Exchange Server using Veritas BackupExec, you need to disable Circular Logging on your Exchange Server 5.5. -----Original Message----- From: mark [mailto:mark@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, June 18, 2003 10:00 AM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] Backing up exchange http://www.MSExchange.org/ Hey all. I am using veritas and I even tried with MSbkup, but I cannopt backup my store. This is what the log says: The item \exchsrvr\CONNECT\MSMCON\MAILDATA\MBG\INQUEUE3.MBG in use - skipped. The item \exchsrvr\DSADATA\temp.edb in use - skipped. The item \exchsrvr\dxadata\edb.log in use - skipped. The item \exchsrvr\dxadata\TEMP.EDB in use - skipped. The item \exchsrvr\dxadata\XDIR.EDB in use - skipped. The item \exchsrvr\imcdata\queue.dat in use - skipped. The item \exchsrvr\mdbdata\tmp.edb in use - skipped. It also said something like access denied. I am running exch 5.5 on a win2k srvr. I also ran everything as the exchadm who has god like rights. Any clues? Mark M.
