James,

20 Gig is quite a large object.... and keep in
mind, if you are running ONLY differential backups,
the transaction logs do NOT get deleted, so the
backup will be 20Gig plus 5Meg * (number of tran logs).

Do you have 20Gig+ free space in your BACKUPPOOL?

If not, you may want to consider going directly to tape
for large objects (set MAXSIZE on the storage pool.)

 ========================================================================

We had a problem with the Exchange Agent returning an error message that we
have not seen before.  It was fine doing a differential backup an hour
before doing a full backup which generated the log entires below.  The
server has an IS of about 20Gig and we have been able to back it up without
problems in the past.  The Agent is at fixtest A, the NT server is at
V3.1.1.3.  I haven't run another full backup yet.  I'd like know if anyone
has more info on this before I do.

Thanks,
