Ok, any reason why you cannot just do information store backups, and let Exchange handle Mailbox retentions. Im not a fan of Mailbox Brick Level Backups (assuming this is what you are trying to achieve). Exchange 2003, comes with built in features to move away from this type of backup. Simon

As Simon recommended, can you NOT do brick level backups? I would at least try that to see if the backups in fact work. You can also try performing backups using NTBackup on the server itself, assuming you have the storage. These two will tell you that backups are working and will point you

I concur that the underlying reason and thus the point of synthetic backups is to shorten the backup window and reduce downtime and network bandwidth utilization (at least after the first full is completed). We disagree on what a true synthetic backup is and how it is implemented. Regards
