Re: [Veritas-bu] Mailbox backup error?

Simon,

What tools would those be? AFAIK, you still can’t do single mailbox recovery without doing a BLB. The only internal tool I know if is to recover a storage group and then grab the mailbox you need out of there, but that’s still lame, IMNSHO – especially since many people only have one storage group, and the storage groups they do have are still quite large.

Am I missing some internal tools?

If you are using Ex2k3, then why bother with Mailbox backups? Why are you not using the Built-in tools to help you "move away" from BLB ??

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Mailbox backup error?

I recently started doing brick level backups of my exchange data and I’m getting an odd error message in my logs, the error is:

3/9/2008 9:45:08 PM aua077 from client aua077: WRN - MBOX:OpenCurMbox() HrMailboxLogon() returned 0x80004005

I’m getting a lot of these and my backup is only taking up about 34gb worth of space on the tape…this can’t be right since I’ve got closer to 500gb worth of exchange data.

Does anyone know what this error means, and how to correct it? I’m worried that its telling me that it couldn’t get into a mailbox to back it up so its skipping it…

I’m currently running NBU 6.5.1 and Exchange 2003.
