Looks like I was getting thrown off by all the VSS stuff (I figured that
would be off by default - guess not), and didn't realize Outlook was
removing the line breaks, making it hard to read.
It does appear to be working, and the Exchange Best Practices Analyzer is no
longer complaining about the store never having been backed up! :D
Those file specifications came from my research on setting this up. It was
in a thread I found on the subject (which I think you were a part of IIRC),
and the purpose was to get the directory itself without the files. 2007 has
a significantly different directory structure than 2003 and it was unclear
to me what I should/shouldn't back up. But now that I can see what the
plugin is backing up it appears that I should just exclude the edb and log
files from the normal FileSet file specs. In fact, I think I should
configure it to back up the whole Exchange Server directory (rather than
letting my normal backup job do that), minus the edb's and log's.
Thanks!

Your fileset looks okay wrt the plugin line. I'm not aware of any
changes in 2007 that would prevent it working like that. Why are you
including and excluding the same C:\... path? (it shouldn't be a
problem, I'm just curious)

I think you use vss=0 or something like that to turn off vss. It's
documented.

If it is reporting that it truncated the database then the plugin is
definitely running, and it thinks it has done a full backup of two
storage groups.
Can you please do the following in bconsole:
*list jobs
(note the jobid of the most recent attempt to run the backup)
*list files jobid=<jobid of the job>
Then send me the output.
Thanks
James
