I have an Exchange 2003 server that works well for weeks, and then will
refuse incoming mail without any warning. It still allows internal mail, it
does not dismount the inf store, it leaves nothing in the event log, it still
sends mail out OK. Typically it will start running after I backup the
Information Store.

So many of you may think it is a size limitation, but the hard drive has
free space and the event viewer says that after an online defrag that night
the store still had 5 gig free. (I bumped up the limit to 30 gb, the store
hovers around 25/ 26).

Bumped up what limit? The store limit? Why not raise it to 75GB ( the
max) If you have the space?


Any ideas where I could start? With no warning and backups taking 5 hours,
it is not making anyone happy. By the way, I do have scheduled backups that
flush the logs every weekend...

Backups take 5 hours? You arent doing mailbox level backups are you?
ANy reason you arent doing full backups every night?




Thanks in advance.
