Unfortunately, I see nothing in there that seems to have relevance. Just to make sure I'm looking in the right place, I went to Eventviewer >> Applications and Services Log >> Microsoft >> Exchange, and looked at everything in HighAvailablilty, MailboxDatabaseFailureItems and Troubleshooters. Nada. Nothing correlates with the missing backups by time or error message. The only failure items I see in there are the ones associated with mounting databases just before and right after the nice clean reboot. I also looked in the MSExchangeManagement log under Applications and Services Logs - nothing in there, either. I'm thinking I should just delete and recreate the event. Seem reasonable?
