Probably a simple question to an Exchange Server guru and this is not a problem as such - just puzzling<br />
I introduced a new Exchange 2007 server a few months ago and since have done a phased move of all of my user inboxes over to it and everything is fine. However when I backup both servers I would have expected the older exchange 2003 server to be much smaller in size as it has no mailboxes stored on it anymore but it still shows 80GB backed up. I am using the latest Symantech Backup Exec Ver 12 so a little puzzled and is there anything I can do

The backup of Exchnage Server 2003 is still the same size despite moving mailboxes to Exchange 2007
