Just recently I started using the Information Store with GRT to do my Exchange backups to disk. Previously I was using Backup Exec 11d Legacy Mailbox and Public Folder brick by brick backups.
Every other evening, I archive my Exchange backups from disk to tape, and I have never had any problems doing this. However, I now have a problem with a file with the following error. ' Unable to open the item E:\Backup\BAUER\BAUEREMAIL\BAUEREMAIL - DIFF - MT\IMG000001\vdb_2007_12_12_1155_03\tmp.edb - skipped.' From what I can tell, this file has not been modified or even accessed since the backup completed, but I still cannot back it up. I even tried running it to tape via a tape job on its own, but that did not work either. How do I unlock this file for my archive job, as now I have to manualy clean up these files. Or, can I exclude this or any other tmp.edb files from this archive and then delete everything else? I do not use CPS, just GRT via 11d. I am backing up an Exchange 2003 server with up to date SPs and patches. Backup Exec has SP2 on it.
One last item, I do have another Exchange backup running using the exact same setup except the backup goes to a different backup folder. Would that lock the tmp.edb, or create a new one?
Thank you for your assistance.
