We are backing up our server using the backup with SBS2003 and not
Ntbackup.exe. The backup completes successfully, however when I check the
first storage group, nothing is there to restore. I can restore everything
else that the server backed up. When you go to restore and click on server
name\Microsoft Information Store\First Storage Group you see that you can
restore log files, mailbox store, or public folder store, but these folders
have nothing in them. I have included the log files below.

I have even tried to backup the information store remotely with a machine
that has Exchange system Manager installed. It completes the backup and the
backup file is the correct size, but when you go to restore, there is
nothing to restore.

Any help would be appreciated.

Mike
