Hey all, I recently took over the Exchange Admin role here at my job and this is the situation. There has not been a successful backup of Exchange 2003 using Veritas Backupexec 9 for a few months now. Here is what my job logs say: Job ended: Tuesday, October 25, 2005 at 12:45:39 PM Completed status: Failed Final error: 0xa000fe2d - The backup of the item is bad. Final error category: Resource Errors Backup - \\MOS-EXCHANGE\Microsoft Exchange Mailboxes Database or database element is corrupt Directory not found.

What is happening is that these were all disabled accounts and I assume the previous administrator deleted the mailboxes but the user accounts were still open in Active Directory for some reason. It shows up under a mailbox in the Veritas exchange utility but in reality these accounts do not exist since they were deleted. Where can i manually find the database or directories and eliminate this problem so my backups will perform? Thanks in advance!!
