Re: Verifying NTbackup actually has backed up the mail store

there are commecrial products that allow you to look into an exchange backup
and extract contents from it if you need.
however I would just look at the ntbackup log files and see if they report
success on the copy.
That would be a good indicator.
However it also interesting to have a brickevel backup of your exchange
server. We use both methods: a complete backup through ntbackup and a
brick-level backup using ExMerge (you can download it form MS website).
ExMerge backs up all server mailboxes to PST files which makes it very
flexible to restore to other versions of exchange and/or simply open them up
in Outlook directly.
The only downside with exMerge is that it cannot backup the Public Folder
stroe (ie public folders). It only backs up the private store (user
mailboxes).

Last week we had a situation where exchange got slammed with 15940 queues,
which I have yet had a reply on as to why. It made me wonder if the mail
store is actually getting backed up, so how can I check without attempting
to
do a restore? I have a second backup going that runs incrementals during
the
week due to the full backup done via the wizard taking 14 hours to
complete.
I start it at 9 PM now on a Friday so it doesnt impact the server. When I
look at the backup file in the restore part of ntbackup, I see the mail
store
folders, but they are empty, and I havent found a way to look at the
actual
backup files the wizard makes.
