My Exchange 2k post-SP3 server seems to run OK, but the information store cannot be backed up. It fails, repeatedly, with "corrupt file" errors. Multiple reboots, including chkdsk /f, don't help.
A mailbox-level backup (courtesy of BackupExec v9) seems to work fine. I'm fairly confident that all of the user's items are protected by the mailbox-level backup. HOWEVER - as you probably guessed, the inability to complete a store backup means that the .LOG files are piling up. In fact, there are something on the order of 3900+ .LOG files, each exactly 5.12MB, in the MDBDATA folder!! So, I ran ESEUTIL /R as part of the trouble-shooting process. After 160-odd minutes, ESEUTIL exited with the following message: "Operation terminated with error -614 (JET_errCheckpointDepthTooDeep, too many outstanding generations between checkpoint and current generation) after 9678.31 seconds." Searching Google Web and Google Groups for the phrase "too many outstanding generations" gets no results. Since a Google Web search includes the Microsoft KnowledgeBase, I think I've got a very rare problem on my hands. What do I do now? There are only 50-odd users on this server. Do I have the option of backing up to .PST, then creating a new information store? What do I do to delete the old store, so that it doesn't interfere with the new store?
