We are using BackupExec 10 on Windows 2003 Server, Exchange 2003. Backup Job hangs repeatedly while backing up the Exchange mailboxes and will continue to "run", but no further data is being written to the tape. Cancelling the job leaves it in a 'cancel pending' state, only stopping and restarting the services will cancel the job. To troubleshoot, I changed backup to just one mailbox (which completed) and then added another mailbox after each successful run. Backup ran fine up to 19 mailboxes, then hung. Tried running the backup with different mailbox selections to see if problem was with a particular mailbox, still hung. Each time it hung, the Active Job listing shows Current directory _attachments_ and the file name is a long string of numbers and letters, the string changes depending on what mailboxes I've selected.
All up-to-date on service packs, patches for Windows Server 2003, Exchange 2003 and BE 10.
Are attachments not in the individual mailboxes??
Any ideas?? Thanks-
