Denise, just looking at your logs it was obvious that some process was
slowing your data transfer rate (from 53 to 14 - that is a big drop!).
Whenever I see something like this on a Microsoft server, I know that we
are in for a big fall, so I reboot the server ASAP!
Yes it would be nice to know what causes these problems, but it would
also be nice to know why Microsoft can't release a stable operating
system or why ArcServe doesn't work properly "out of the box". Sometimes
it is just easier to "shoot the messenger!"
I have two SBS2000 sites where clients are claiming speed issues.
STORE.EXE is consuming in excess of 650Mb RAM - that is ridiculous, so
until I find a fix, these two servers get automatically rebooted (via
APC UPS) at 4am each morning.

Thanks Kim!! I'll look through the logs and try repackaging the job
itself.
I stopped and restarted the rpc service on the exchange server last
night
and the job ran ok. Don't know if it was that or the job just decided
to
run ok??
