I have recently installed backup exec. My current setup is:
On the BE server I have:
Windows 2003 R2
Dell PowerVault 124T
BE 7170
Exchange Agent
Active Directory Agent
Advanced Open File Option
CDO update
32-bit Exchange 2007 management tools
On the Exchange server I have
Windows 2003 R2 64 bit
Exchange 2007 Enterprise
CDO update
BE agent 64-bit from 7170 build (installed locally)
Backup exec email account
In BE I have settings:
Use Advanced Open File Option > Automatically Select Open File Technology
Information Store Backups > Full – Database & Logs (flush committed logs)
Enable the restore of individual mail messages and folders from Information Store backups
I can see the Exchange information stores OK and back them Up. All my mailboxes are in the First Storage Group and the logs show that the backup has been successful. However when I look at the Restore Job Properties, about 15% of the mailboxes are not there. Presumably they weren’t backed up. These are the same mailboxes each time, so to date they have never been backed up. There seems to be no common denominator between the mailboxes.
Why are some mailboxes not being backed up?
