Exchange backup not working - I think

[tjcooper]

I am not sure if my exhcange backup completed. Here is what the logs show:

The tdpexc.log has no entries for last night.

The excsch.log shows;

Is it still running? I did a query proc at the console and didnt get anything other than reclaimation.

I may have my own answer

My console shows it is still in progress.

God I hate file level backups! Bring on the block level!!!

"q session" will give you the information you seek.

Log date/time is wrong

My log , excfull.log, is not showing the correct date/time. The rest of the data looks current.

This is in my excfull.cmd

echo Current date is: >> excfull.log
date /t < NUL >> excfull.log
echo Current time is: >> excfull.log
time /t < NUL >> excfull.log

Is this the process that updates that log file?

just check this ,if you scheduled using TSM Central schedular then u can give this command

node name --> name of node which you are running backup

q event * * begind=-5 endd=today nodes=<nodename>

output gives the 5 day status of backup

also verify this ..command in excfull.cmd

tdpexcc backup * full dsm.opt="<qualified path of dsm.opt >"logfile ="<qualified path of log file >"
