Backup Exec 10d with Exchange Agent fails when there is a disabled user.
Hey experts,
I have Exchange 2003 with Backup Exec 10d with an Exchange Agent. When a user is terminated in our company our policy is to disable the account in AD for 30 days and then remove it. The problem is that when I disable the user, BE keeps trying to backup the user's mailbox and failing. The job fails with this error V-79-57344-65033 - Directory not found. Cannot backup directory Name, User [uname] and its subdirectories. So, how do I get BE to backup the mailbox even though the account is disabled? If that's not possible how do I get it to just skip that mailbox and move on to the next one instead of failing?

On top of that this method work perfectly with BE 9 and Exchange 5.5. Why take it away?
The Exchange agent lets you backup the Information Store. If you don't have the Exchange agent then you cannot backup the Information Store.
Mailbox backup rated so highly? Where? Even Microsoft don't recommend it. Read any of the posts on this site, and other Microsoft Exchange sites written by specialists and you will not find one good word for Brick Level backups.
I haven't done Brick Level backup, for over five years. Not once have I ever thought that I wished I had.
You must have been very lucky if it always worked for you on previous versions. One of the things you have to get used to with brick level backups is the failure messages.
