We're trying to backup one in particular Exchange 5.5 server and
Brick-level backups are not protection against a store failure, just a
convenience if you need to recover a mailbox or some content. Follow
FAQ Appendix B and you don't need brick-level backups. What you didn't
say was whether you back up the Information Store, not the store files.
If you back
Seems to me you asked these Q's long ago...but here's what I might do.
1.) The Open File agent - Will NOT work its not meant to for this
2.) You must have the exchange agent (which if your attempting BLB's you
must have)
3.) Turn off the BLB
4.) Do a normal Backup in BE8.6 without BLB but all
When you install Exchange on a server, it automatically installs an
exchange aware version of NTBackup (I'm guessing you're running on
NT).
Online defrags should be running automatically, look in the event logs
for events that relate to that kind of operation. 1227 (I think) is one
of them.
If the only errors you are getting are related to Veritas BLBs reporting
corrupt messages in Top of Information Store And not -1018 or other
Exchange related database corruption reporting errors then I believe you
should be looking at fixing the technical administration problems you are
No from Veritas it's their enterprise product.
