[Networker] cannot recover differential exchange backup

Hi,

when I recover our Exchange 2000 server to a test machine, I only get thedata from the full backups, the differential/level 1 backup cannot be restored.


I set the client's debug level to 2 and got this at the end of the recovery:

[1648] [E] 03/14/06 15:13:42 rcutil(978): NetWorker Server failed torecover one or more of the files requested.[1648] [E] 03/14/06 15:13:43 Not recovered: /Information Store/ErsteSpeichergruppe/E0000889.log (1142327855.1142327856)[1648] [E] 03/14/06 15:13:43 Not recovered: /Information Store/ErsteSpeichergruppe/E000088A.log (1142327855.1142327857)[1648] [E] 03/14/06 15:13:43 Not recovered: /Information Store/ErsteSpeichergruppe/E000088B.log (1142327855.1142327858)[1648] [E] 03/14/06 15:13:43 Not recovered: /Information Store/ErsteSpeichergruppe/E000088C.log (1142327855.1142327859)[1648] [E] 03/14/06 15:13:43 Not recovered: /Information Store/ErsteSpeichergruppe/E000088D.log (1142327855.1142327860)[1648] [E] 03/14/06 15:13:43 Not recovered: /Information Store/ErsteSpeichergruppe/E000088E.log (1142327855.1142327861)[1648] [E] 03/14/06 15:13:43 Not recovered: /Information Store/ErsteSpeichergruppe/E000088F.log (1142327855.1142327862)[1648] [E] 03/14/06 15:13:43 Not recovered: /Information Store/ErsteSpeichergruppe/E0000890.log (1142327855.1142327863)[1648] [E] 03/14/06 15:13:43 Not recovered: /Information Store/ErsteSpeichergruppe/E0000891.log (1142327855.1142327864)[1648] [E] 03/14/06 15:13:43 Not recovered: /Information Store/ErsteSpeichergruppe/E0000892.log (1142327855.1142327865)



Can somebody tell me what this means?

In contrast to a recovery of a full backup, I had to do a "eseutil /cc /t"today before mounting the databases, and the youngest data in the databasesis of about 10am - that is the time our last full backup had finished.

Is it perhaps better to run incremental backups? What we want is to backupthe transaction logs hourly so that we would lose only one hour of data atmaximum.
