This might be an unrelated issue but can't figure it out. I have exchange 5.5 running on windows 2000 Ad. Server. I use veritas back up exec for backups. The problem is that about a week ago my backup started spanning two tapes. It no longer fits in one and I have to insert a second tape. Is a single, external, AIT drive. Now when I try to do a restore to a standby server the catalog job takes about 4 hours and when doing the restore I get a red X on the IS and it tells me that it is corrupted. I never get ask for the second tape which I know has part of the IS. Please help me. Juan Ibarra
