Exchange 2007 Logs flushed, but database not marked as backed up
Server 1: Exchange 2007 SP3 on Server 2003 R2 SP2 x64 Standard
Server 2: Backup Exec 12.5 (rev.2213) on Server 2003 R2 SP2 x32 Standard with LTO-4 drive
We just realized that, BE is flushing the db logs with each full backup, but the databases are not being marked as "backed up" at all. The backups themsevles are showing as completed, and the job log does not record any errors. I've done some searching on the internet and have found very little to help identify this issue. I would very much appreciate any insight on what I can do to make sure the databases are marked as backed-up.
Thank you in advance.

Well, after much frustration, I discovered that there is a caviat to running the get-mailboxdatabase command with format-list...
If you don't include the -status switch it returns the blank results as above. If you include the switch, suddently all those backup fields are populated with accurate data.
I wish that information wasn't so hard to find, but hopefully this post can help save someone else a little time and frustration.
