My bet would be you're backups are running late.

against either MDB, theonlinedefrag that is occurring on the MDB which is

any MDB within a storage group doesnotconflict with themaintenancetimes
of any MDB within the same storage group. If there is a conflict, the backup
ends theonlinedefrag portion of theonlinemaintenanceof the information

Hello,

We're in the process of squaring away our databases, in preparation
for upcoming mailbox size increases.
We have customized ourmaintenanceintervals by:
1. scheduling a more exact backup window
2. scheduling a more generous window foronlinemaintenance/defrag

After modifying a newmaintenanceinterval for both backups andonline
defrag - we noticed that the new start time foronlinedefrag didNOT
take effect, it still ran on the OLD settings. We decided to reboot
the server, waited until the next day and realized that it still did
NOTwork.
I've read that restarting System Attendant resolves this issue - but
again, we bounced the server - to no avail.

Any thoughts, comments, suggestions - want to bop in the back of my
head cuz I missed something?

Thanks for your help!

Tell us exactly what times the backup runs from and how long it takes
and when themaintenancewindow starts.- Hide quoted text -

Hi Mark,

Monday thru Friday - incremental backups start at 8PM and end at
8:30PM.
Themaintenancewindows should start at 9PM and end at 8AM. Instead,
OnlineMaintenance(OM) starts at 3AM and end, incomplete, at 9 or
10AM.

(Saturdays are full backups. Full backups start at 8pm and end at 8am
- Sunday morning)

Thanks for your help!

Hi John,

Thanks for your input.
Although we're running Exchange 2k3, your information should still
apply.
I've checked the Event logs and know that the incremental backups
complete at approxmately 8:40.
I've turned up diagnostics logging and so far have not found anything.
I'll scour the ESE logs again to verify that all the backups are
ending when they should.
I kind of share your hunch that there might be a "rogue" backup job
out there causing this trouble.
