Oh, by the way, this exchange box as not been backed up since it was built 2.5 years ago! Brick backups are start because this box could tank at any moment. I'm purchasing Veritas BE 9 in January, but I cannot get it until then. I might have a trial copy of BE 9 and I can use until then, though.

Everytime I try to restore an individuals mailbox, the job copies 9088 bytes and then hangs. It never fails or gives an error message. My mail server is Exchange 5.5 standard running on a Windows 2000 Server (SP4) with Veritas Backup Exec v8.5.
