Hi all, Running Exch 2003 on Win2003 server. Recently I have been receiving an error that the backup didn't complete. I'm backing up the Information Store and Site Replication Service. I am backing up to file, and sending that file to a share. The backup report is as follows; Backup Status Operation: Backup Active backup destination: File Media name: "exchange.bkf created 12/12/2004 at 12:24 PM" Backup of "SERVER\Microsoft Information Store\First Storage Group" Backup set #1 on media #1 Backup description: "Set created 12/12/2004 at 12:24 PM" Media name: "exchange.bkf created 12/12/2004 at 12:24 PM" Backup Type: Normal Backup started on 12/12/2004 at 12:25 PM.
