I think this is what you're referring t, Carl: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;820272 Basically it fails with NTBACKUP, if the databases are on the same drive as the system state, normally the C: drive. Hopefully, the databases are not on the C: drive :) David Wilhoit Microsoft Exchange MVP 2004 kidego@xxxxxxxxxx <mailto:kidego@xxxxxxxxxx> "Gravity is a harsh mistress!" -The Tick ________________________________ From: Carl Webster [mailto:carl8822@xxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Mon 8/9/2004 11:06 AM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] RE: Veritas Backup with Exchange Agent http://www.MSExchange.org/ > -----Original Message----- > From: Knutsen, Vicki [mailto:vickik@xxxxxxxxxxx] > Subject: [exchangelist] RE: Veritas Backup with Exchange Agent > > Carl - thanks for the help.
