Del,

I´ve checked with the Exch guys....the configuration is SCC.....but the Legacy 
backup is behaving like I´ve told you before.....there is no error, but it 
copies nothing.

The strange thing for me is why the checkbox from the Mailbox Database from 
First Storage Group and Second Storage Group on the Backup window appears with 
an X instead of unchecked.....

I believe this maybe the reason the backup is not copying anything.....I just 
don´t know how to change this............or even if this is something to be 
solved on the TDP side or on the Exchange itself....

Mario

Mario,

About CCR vs. SCR vs. SCC. Ask your Exchange Admin. They will know. :-)

Microsoft does not support "legacy" backups from a CCR passive
or SCR replicas.  In order to perform a VSS backup from the
passive node of a CCR cluster, you must either have TSM for Copy Services
or FlashCopy Manager in order to the activate VSS backups feature.

Thanks,

Del
