I thought I had one from yesterday but my Veritas software or my Onstream tape
drive showed nothing on the tape backup from yesterday or any day last week. I
have five tapes. One for each day and I have been changing them everyday for
the last year and nothing has been backing up. But this is a whole other issue.
So, I have no backups. Unfortunately, the owner of the company told me to stay
all night if I have to to get email back up. So, I deleted half of the files in
the mdbdata folder. There were 3500 5 mb files and I deleted half of them and
then mounted the store, restarted the server and our email was back up and
running. However, I had several errors on the application log that I will deal
with tomorrow. All of the MDBDATA files I deleted, I backed up to an external
hard drive so I still have them available.

Hi John
DO NOT DELETE any of the files from the MDBDATA directory, here are a couple of
questions for you:
When was the last time you did a full online backup of your Exchange Storage
Groups?
Have you configured your anti-virus software to exclude the relevant
Exchange files:

Don?t worry about the contents of the BadMail directory, you can safely delete
them, I would suggest you do it from the command line rather than via Windows
Explorer, you might also want to take a look at the BadMail Deletion download

My email server went down on Friday and I found that the mdbdata folder was
full. I only have 12 users and it is a 14 GB folder. Can I delete some of these
files or how do I free up some room? I am running symantec for exchange but I
ran a virus scan from my file server to the shared exchange folder and it found
5200 viruses in the badmail folder under exchange. HELP
