Hi,
NW 7.4.2 Windows 2003 sp2 - NW exch module 5.1
Last night our exchange store backup ran out of tape(s). It seemed to
sit all day waiting for a tape per usual... until.... a NW
server/bootstrap backup took place, and it seems it took the mail
stores offline in exchange... :( (Ouch!)
Is this normal? I know a bootstrap backup needs clean access to
"everything", but I would think it would just kill the offending job, or
not run at all? (The bootstrap / nw server backup said it ran fine?)
The exchange job itself did not die on NW, it kept asking for tapes all
day long, until I killed the job manually, but the logs from the backup
job that failed don't mention anything crashing/broken on the exch
server/stores, or anything too out of the ordinary, outside of the usual
exchange logging goop.
Regards,
Jamie
