SBS Exchange Backup issue

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

Hi All
We have a SBS 2003 premium server and we use SBS Backup to backup all
partitions, system state and Microsoft Information store to a network drive
on a NAS box or occasionaly to a USB drive.
The backup logs in SBS server management indicate no problems. However when
we use the NTBackup restore tab to inspect the backup files and drill down to
the log files, mailbox and public folders the backup program reports 0 kb and
no entries in each of these 3 exchange backup folders. Could anyone please
tell me if this correct as it appears very worrying to me when the logs show
no problems. The backup file size would seem to indicate that the info store
is indeed backed up as they are backed up once from the info store part of
the backup and again from the full partition backup.
Thanks for your help

David
