RE: MS Exchange 2003 backups using Veritas Backup Exec

I'm using a Sony StorStation which is attached to a backup server. I will
try adding the address to the host file on my backup server. What I can't
seem to understand is why the Shadow Copy writers do not reset themselves.
I think that may be the key to resolving my issue.
Thank you.
