Hi Neil, I think it's a permissions error. Check that you have sufficient privileges to write to the public folder from the user running the backup. HTH cheers Rachel.

I have the exchange agent which as far as I know is correctly installed, everything checks out fine anyway. I do a restore by session, because I have given a serial number to all the tapes in my pool by day, so I choose 1000004, which would be Thursdays backup. I go to the public folders in the exchange agent, I choose "Sellafield calendar", it says that it is just over 2 meg in size, I choose to restore to original location and click run. The backup job runs but comes up with this message :- E8603 Failed to write to database. (DBNAME=Public Folders\Sellafield Calendar, EC=EXCH Exchange Agent - (402) "Exchange system error".) However, the backup seems to restore one item from the calendar. Ive tried running it for alternate destinations, but it just crashes. It appears that there is 2 meg of data backed up, yet it only attempts to restore 33KB? Is there any other way of getting data off this tape? _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&lang =english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&lang=english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
