From: Ashley Draper on 5 May 2010 16:58 Hello, I have inherited an SBS 2003 (Std) installation, and when running the SBS backup (with default settings), the backup doesn't seem to work at the Exchange section. The log says: Backup Type: Normal Backup started on 5/05/2010 at 10:29 PM. Backup completed on 5/05/2010 at 10:29 PM. Directories: 4 Files: 2 Bytes: 21,473 Time: 1 second Backup of "XXXXXX\Microsoft Information Store\First Storage Group" Backup set #4 on media #1 Backup description: "SBS Backup created on 5/05/2010 at 8:00 PM" Media name: "Small Business Server Backup (05).bkf created 5/05/2010 at 8:00 PM" The MDBDATA folder is about 16Gb in size, with 15 mailboxes or so, so it appears to either looking at the wrong store/group (there is only one) , or perhaps skipping over because of permissions? Can anyone help with where I might start looking here? Many thanks, Ashley

Do you have a 'Recovery Storage Group' on the server. If so, delete the RSG and then run the backup again. You might also want to check the "Small Business Backup Script.bks" (and/or re-run the SBS Backup Wizard). I pulled the following from a prior post: --------------------------------------------- Using NTbackup to remove Recovery Storage Group reference from the backup selection script: 1.Start -> Run -> NTBackup -> Advanced Mode -> Backup tab -> Job -> Load Selections. 2.Select Small Business Backup Script.bks 3.Click OK on the error message: "Some invalid selections found in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Windows Small Business Server\Backup\Small Business Backup Script.bks". 4.Job -> Save Selections. --------------------------------------------- -- Merv Porter [SBS-MVP] ============================ "Ashley Draper" <ashley.draper(a)draperIT.com> wrote in message news:OshYnWJ7KHA.4508(a)TK2MSFTNGP06.phx.gbl... > Hello, > > I have inherited an SBS 2003 (Std) installation, and when running the SBS > backup (with default settings), the backup doesn't seem to work at the > Exchange section.
