Sounds like the unmounted PF store is at the heart of this problem. It ought to be deleted not just dismounted.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/822443/en-us "A public folder store should never be mounted, or present (even in a dismounted state) on the front-end server." Remember you can always re-create it later if you want to change the servers role. rgrds Mark On 06/06/07, Jim Blunt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
James, Yes...the selection list on the backup server looks like this: 1. \\server.domain.com\C:\*.* /SUBDIR 2. \\server.domain.com\D:\*.* /SUBDIR 3. \\server.domain.com\Microsoft Information Store\First Storage Group|*.* /SUBDIR 4. \\server.domain.com\Microsoft Information Store\First Storage Group|Public Folder Store (Servername) /EXCLUDE 5. \\server.domain.com\Shadow?Copy?Components\*.* /SUBDIR 6. \\server.domain.com\System?State\*.* /SUBDIR The ONLY thing that is different in the backup job of these two servers, is that I don't need a PF store on this server, so it's unmounted through the ESM and excluded from the backup job. I am going to try remounting the PF store and rerunning the backup job, to include the PF store and see if that makes a difference.
