Migration from sbs 2000 to sbs 2003 / exchange backup problems
Hi - Im Getting ready to migrate from sbs 2000 to sbs 2003 on new hardware but I am having a problem. I can not get a good backup and the transaction logs are growing. Here is the error I am getting using NTBackup (Portions of "\Mailbox Store (server)" cannot be read. The backed up data is corrupt or incomplete. This file will not restore correctly). I guess my question is if I can't get a good backup should I just export everything to pst files and start from scratch or is there a way to resolve this problem??? There are about 15 users so recreating profiles won't be too bad if I had to export the mailboxes and public folders...

Sorry for the delay, I finally had time to run an offline defrag. Well the defrag never finished, it ran for 15 hours and it was only at 10%. We had to stop it so the store could be mounted. I guess our only solution is to use exmerge, create pst files, recreate the domain and desktop profiles???
It sounds like that store is pretty messed up. I would start again from PST's.
