Round two
*************
Just found this from Timothy Runion in another thread:
I think I have solved the problem, at least I am getting successful restores. I was getting errors running backup and restore jobs. This is what I have found to correct the problem within my environment. Exchanges uses a staging area to copy temp files to for running a restore. This option can be found by going into Tools-Options click on restore and make note of the path used for the media server. The problem for us was our backup was 61G when running a restore it needs exactly that much free space on the media server to store the temp files. Our media server had a 30G drive which wasn't near enough. The error code generated from Backup Exec was fairly vague so it took me a while to figure out where to troubleshoot. We put in a larger drive and the restore worked like a charm. One thing to note is if you try and use a mapped network drive as the location to store the temps, that doesn't work either. It must be a physical drive on the media server.
I have changed my restore temp folder and the job has now started. I have a 40Gb private store and it looks like it needs to restore the whole lot to a temp folder before it can get access to my data .
I will keep you posted.
