Exchange 2003 eseutil

Have an Exchange db that works fine BUT will never backup. It will not backup with Backup Exec or NT Backup. For the specifics of the failure see here (https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/27963583/Backup-Exec-Exchange-Error.html )

It seems my next course of action is ESEUTIL /P -> then ESEUTIL /D -> then Isinteg –fix –test alltests

But when i run the ESEUTIL /P it says "you should only run repair on damaged or corrupted databases. Repair will not apply information in the transaction log files to the databases "

Should I be worried about the "Repair will not apply information in the transaction log files to the databases" ?

Should I be worried about the "Repair will not apply information in the transaction log files to the databases" ? - Nopes

What is the Version of Exchange - Std or Ent ?
Did you simply try with ISINTEG and try to fix and check with Backup ?
Once you Dismount please make a Copy before trying anything

What is the Version of Exchange - Std or Ent ? SBS 2003, Standard

Did you simply try with ISINTEG and try to fix and check with Backup ? Not yet. Can i run Isinteg –fix –test alltests before i run the other 2?

Once you Dismount please make a Copy before trying anything - I have multiple copies of the 2 priv1 files. assuming thats what i need.

First I would run ths

ESEUTIL /G test your database

OK i will do that first.

Can i run Isinteg –fix –test alltests before i run the other 2? - Yes they all are separate things

Perfect for the Backup part

Eseutil /G only checks the DB integrity and will run at 4-5GB per hour

I would say run once more and then mount and check with Backup
