Right in that case the latest version of PowerTools is able to read the backup tape and get the priv.edb file directly from the Online Backup. Note I wrote online backup not offline backup. I don't know how this works as well use Netbackup but that is the way it is supposed to work, if not then call Ontrack support. You are never going to be able to backup the priv.edb unless you stop the information store which is not a good idea. If it can't read the tape directly then you would need to do an online restore to a separate server where the priv.edb will be located and you can then use PowerTools to access it. We have evaluated PowerTools and were not overly impressed it couldn't read priv.edb files if the database had been under load and created lots of transaction logs. I believe a newer version currently in beta and to be released in September may work better.

We were tryin to back-up the PRIV.EDB for easier access by the utility. But, we were sure that you can't directly back-up the PRIV.EDB. Just trying to quell an argument with one my guys, and needed to make sure that you weren't able to backup the PRIV.EDB without stopping the services.

What app are you trying to use to read the edb files is it Ontrack's Power Tools? Regards, Paul -----Original Message----- From: Paul kondilys [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 30 July 2003 17:30 To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Auto Accept Utility stopped working We are ticking off the option for the Information Store, but have now modified the job to backup the PRIV.EDB as well. Only reason we're doing this is because we would like to have the actual PRIV.EDB in a backup media for access by one of our 3rd party applications that can access the PRIV.EDB, and extract mailboxes or actual messages. Paul -----Original Message----- From: Atkinson, Daniel [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, July 30, 2003 12:22 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Auto Accept Utility stopped working No, you don't have to stop the services. Please clarify how you are using veritas; i.e. are you looking on the relevant drive and ticking priv.edb as a file to backup? If so, this won't work, you need to tick 'Microsoft Exchange Information Store' in the veritas directory tree. If this doesn't appear then your exchange agent isn't installed properly. > -----Original Message----- > From: Paul kondilys [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 30 July 2003 17:16 > To: Exchange Discussions > Subject: RE: Auto Accept Utility stopped working > > > Well, actually we are running veritas with the exchange > agent, only thing is that the PRIV.EDB file is skipped.
