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.
