Del, how can I get the proper values to use, we are in production and we
cannot just try/retry. Actually we use buffers=3, buffersize=1024

Should I ask Microsoft for explanation about the message  "The specified
network name is no longer available" ?

Lastly, what about the modification in the TSM Message manual ?

Thanks,
rené

René,

This error is coming back from a Microsoft API.
It normally means that there are machine resource issues
and the Exchange server cannot get the resources
it needs to complete the backup.
Try changing the BUFFERSIZE and/or BUFFERS
options to smaller values and retry.
In many cases, a recycling of all Exchange services
and/or a reboot was necessary to free resources that the
Exchange Information Store service was not freeing properly.

Thanks,

Del
