Hi Javier

Afraid not..To do that you must purge them the Exchange System Manager. Only 
the transaction logs are deleted following a successful Exchange aware 
backup. Have you tried submitting a new job? I suspect that may well resolve 
the issue. I can't say the Event log entries help much I'm afraid.

Let me know how you get on and I will do whatever else I can to help. Good 
luck and speak with you soon.

Regards,

Paul Lemonidis.

Oops,

What I meant was:

Paul,

I am also getting a corrupt file error in the logs, I tried the second 
option that you told me about deselecting the corrupt mailboxes and then it 
still crashed with the following job log, the good news is it skipped all 
the missing/corrupt mailboxes. I have a question, once I do get a successful 
backup will that automatically purge all the missing mailboxes in the 
database???? Or is this something I have to do manually? I have not 
attempted Mike Dufoe's suggestion as of yet due to power outage here from 
Hurricane Wilma, I finally got back into the office today and will attempt 
to resolve this problem.

Thanks for all the help, oh yea, here is that job log.

Hi all

These look like mailboxes that have been deleted but not purged from the
Exchange database. I am guessing you are backing up single mailboxes. If so
Backup Exec will not stop generating these errors until you do purge them in
the Exchange System Manager, or alternatively you can go in to the backup
job and remove the mailboxes from the backup selection list. The third
option is to suppress the messages as Mike quite rightly pointed out but
that doesn't fix the underlying issue of course. If all else fails put the
current job on hold and submit a new one. I suspect that will resolve the
issue once and for all.

One question. Are there any other errors in the event logs relating to these
users? If so what are they please?

Hope this helps?

Regards,

Paul Lemonidis.

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.

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!!
