Quickly I am having trouble restoring email to an email box with an error of V-79-57344-33928 / 0xe0008488. What I am seeing is selecting 4 emails from an available resource to a designated email box (administrator) is only restoring a portion of the data and then displaying an error. So I ignore and close out then open outlook and I see 2 of 4 emails. The 2 that are there work fine and seem to be usable and 100% there. So I have tried other tapes and jobs scenarios I have seem to run into a basic description of when trying to perform exchange restores that around 50% restore and work and the rest dint get restored and an error comes up.
Config & Setup
1 HP proliant DL380 G3
Server 2003 R2 STD SP2
BE 10.1D SP4
Ultruim230 External
Due to lack of hardware just lying around I only had 1 server to play with. The server is the DC/GC, Veritas, and Exchange
This is a sand box server <Proto> with no network or Internet access. Very controlled and specific enviorment. To the desktop the server is loaded then sp2 applied then reboot. Add the prereqs in add and remove components to install exchange, then reboot. Use the configure manager to configure as "1st typical server" which will be AD, DNS, DHCP, reboot. Next Run preps, reboot. Now install exchange 2003 no sp, reboot. Install Exchange 2003 SP2, reboot.
Install BE 10.1D, reboot. Install SP4 (as I have done this a few times the second time I did SP4 and then 3 hotfixes I don't recall that required SP4 first) reboot.
Now make a veritas account, via a copy of the administrator account, as well as an account that is the same as the originating box that the email was backed up from. From logging out as admin and logging in as veritas and the user as well as making sure from outlook 2007 with sp1 loaded locally to the server I configure and sent email to and from all 3 of these accounts.
After looking close I noticed another error might be the issue after all
V-79-57344-65275 = Ensure all media have been inventoried and cataloged. Well Since I know this was a single tape backup meaning 1 media was all that was used and not full. I am not sure what else might not be cataloged or inventoried. I am not getting any media erros like media is not good.
Bottom line question??? Based on what I have described would it be safe to say that when I made this backup although it said sucessful with no errors that the backup was no good or incomplete since it is saying "ensure all media have been inventoried" and out of 4 emails 2 go back and work fine that the backup is no good or icmplete and I will not be able to recover everything I see that is selectable. I am using 4 and 2 as small and easy numbers the real scale is out of 130 emails like 70 or 80 are going back and work fine. I think I have ruled out permissions. If it connects to a box and puts half the email back in 8 minutes but in 16 minutes it fails out and gives the error acces is denied how does access be denied in the middle of a restore when half goes back? I think access is denied because there may be something wrong with 1.Physical tape 2.Data or 3.catalog and indexing info is screwed on the tape.
here are the documents I have combed through. I know there are more but here are the articles I still have open.

I must have closed off the article for Exchange admin delegation which I have followed.
Any help would be great.
