Setting up Backup Exec 10 for the first time - backing up Outlook

Exact Error Message
The backup of the item is bad

Warning: %Email message% is a corrupt file. The file cannot verify

Unable to backup the attachment data associated with one or more messages. Some messages and their attachments may have been deleted while the backup was already in progress.

I get these messages on many of the email's that are being backed up. It says that the backup failed, however, it looks like it did backup the data. I have done the suggested REGEDIT modifications, however, I continue to get this error when doing a backup (receiving a backup failed message).

Hello,


This error could occur when Backup Exec performs a backup of mailboxes with
having "Single instance backup for message attachment" enabled. When a
mailbox has already been backed up, deleting a message attachment, which is
associated with multiple mailboxes will make the job fails with the
error "Warning: Unable to backup the attachment data associated with one or
more messages".
To resolve this issue, unselect the "Enable Single Instance backup for
message attachments" from Tools > Options > Exchange.
