Your checkpoint file is way behind in marking the logs that have been
played into the store. This typically happens when a backup doesn't let
go of the .chk file. Best option is to delete the .chk file and fix the
backup issue.
If you run an eseutil /mk exx.chk, you will see the logfile that it
thinks was the last one to be played in vs the current logfile
generation. They are probably at least 1000 behind (that's when this
error occurs). The only issue with deleting the .chk file is that it
will force your system to replay through all logs since it doesn't know
where to start since the .chk is gone.

Conversation: ESEUTIL /R WON'T RUN!! HELP!!
Subject: ESEUTIL /R WON'T RUN!! HELP!!
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?
TIA - Tim ==
