Chris,

Yes, we are running Service Pack 5 for NT, and Service Pack 2 for Exchange
5.5.  The restore seems to run just fine, but Exchange is unable to start
after the restore.  We are looking at having to shutdown Exchange and run a
regular NT Incremental backup and restart Exchange.  This will work, but it
is messy, and our users are not happy about the downtime.

Thanks,
Barry
