We also ran into similar problems such as these and lost about 600Gb of
data.
The problem is that Backup Exec kept pointers to it's data on the tapes
themselves instead of logging to the ADSM database.
When we lost one tape due to a media problem we ended up loosing hundreds of
gigabytes of data, since all of the pointers were gone.
That an the fact that I found the interface quirky and the error messages
misleading...

We had tried this configuration initially, and had a lot of problems
with
it. ADSM was defined as an output device to Backup Exec. We had a
lot of
unexplained delays in startups of scheduled backups, and then
problems with
the Backup Exec catalog caused us to lose about 6 months worth of
backups.
They may have improved in subsequent versions, but we are not
willing to
invest the time to find out.
I wouldn't want to go this route again, but of course we have no
interest in
doing individual mailbox backup/restore. It is too slow, our backup
window
would not allow for anything but a selective backup of individual
mailboxes,
and we would probably never have selected the one we would need to
restore.
We can restore a 6-7 gig Exchange database, and recover a mailbox,
within
about an hour (when it goes well), and that is good enough for us.
