Larry,
Could you clarify the configuration. By the looks of things this is Exchange
5.5 but how did you implement the disk upgrade? Was this just the database
disks and did you have old and new alongside so you could move stores using
the performance monitor or did you replace the drives and simply restore
from a backup? Was the OS on the same disks and is this where Intelligent
Disaster Recovery comes in?
Anyway, I'm sure your aware of the two hits in TechNet relating to
4294966768. These imply the problem is with missing log files and you have
the suggestion of getting rid of them. I'm wondering if you've got a
permissions issue, or perhaps the server (having been rebuilt) isn't
authenticating to the domain properly.
As this is a BE backup you could always try a restore with NTbackup.
Would it be safe to assume you've reverted to the pre upgrade configuration?
If so, then on the next attempt it might be better to shut down Exchange
prior to backup giving you a clean offline backup.
regards,
Richard Dann

Subject: Exchange-aware restores not writing 'restore in progress' reg
key
Hi all! It's been a while since I've asked for assistance, but this one's
got us AND PSS stumped.
This past Sunday, we decided to increase disk space on our Exchange server
by swapping disk drives out with larger ones. We went from an 8 gig volume
to an 18 gig (3 9-gig drives/RAID5). All worked well. We used Veritas Backup
Exec version 8.5 with the Exchange agent and Intelligent Disaster Recovery
option. This seemed to backup and restore just fine. However, the IS did NOT
come up. Had service specific error 4294966768 when it tried to start. Tried
running ESEUTIL /r, but that did nothing. We tried on our own to do ESEUTIL
/P which did work, but then the MTA did not start - inconsistent and a
Windows NT internal error 2140 occurred. We restored all over again with PSS
helping us. They had us do exactly what we did prior, but we added ISINTEG
-fix to both the priv and pub.edb files, then ISINTEG - patch. We also were
able to restore the MTA, which again did not work, by copying the mtadata
directory DAT files from the 5.5 CD. All of this worked, although rebooting
caused us to have to run the ISINTEG - patch. We had error 1011 when trying
to start the IS. Anyway, all was ok, but we're still left with the
mind-boggling question "why are these ONLINE Exchange-aware restores NOT
providing us with a 'restore in progress' key?". As per PSS, this should
happen BEFORE the .PAT file creation in the MDBDATA directory.
Ok...any ideas? Anyone else experience these oddities?
Many thanks,
Larry Seltzer
