like i was saying from the beginning of this discussion arcserve is not the way to go for exchange backups but still did you guys have the exchange agent installed for arcserver if you did not arcserve will skip the priv.edb as it is in use.

Recently I had made some sarcastic remarks in frustration after a consultant had exported to a .pst and not all the email would come back. We tried to restore the information store from Arcserve 2000 and it had skipped the priv.edb file, but no error appears in the log file. I have had no training in Exchange, we had hired one company (a large one to setup the system originally) and another after email became corrupted (a local company). We are still trying to get Arcserve to backup the priv.edb, the consultant thought he found the problem with the Exchange Client setup, but it did not solve the problem. So, I shut down services and copied a priv.edb to recover on another server. Lot of work the first time and he couldn't get Exmerge to work, but was able to recover most mailboxes through Exchange. The one user we couldn't recover, always has problems with everything, and always tells me how lame Microsoft is (must be bad karma). We are going to Veritas and Exchange 2000, so I am want to learn all I can to avoid previous problems.
