frypanjack Posted December 17, 2004 Report Share Posted December 17, 2004 I turned off circular logging, then rebooted since it didn't take affect right away (must be a better way...). Here is more of the log: + Executing Immediate Backup at 12/17/2004 5:53 AM To Backup Set Thursday... - 12/17/2004 5:53:01 AM: Copying First Storage Group Exchange Backup/Restore API error: (0xc8000232) - Some log or patch files are missing. File "First Storage Group\?zzz LOG": can't read, error -1004 (Database Backup/Restore error) Anybody ever see this before ? Thanks, Denis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlg Posted March 7, 2005 Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 I'm seeing the same issue...after turning off circular logging on Exchange Server 2003 and rebooting, the Retrospect backup job says: Trouble reading files, error -3714 (some log or patch files are missing) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natew Posted March 8, 2005 Report Share Posted March 8, 2005 Hi Are you running full, incremental, differential or log backups in Retrospect? Thanks Nate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlg Posted March 14, 2005 Report Share Posted March 14, 2005 Differential. Here's what I see in the log: - 3/7/2005 6:43:49 PM: Copying First Storage Group on mail 3/7/2005 6:43:49 PM: Connected to mail Backup type: Differential Trouble reading files, error -3714 (Some log or patch files are missing) 3/7/2005 6:44:20 PM: Execution incomplete Remaining: 1 files, 17,179,869,184.0 GB Completed: 2 files, zero KB, with 0% compression Performance: 0.0 MB/minute Duration: 00:00:31 (00:00:25 idle/loading/preparing) Aside from the -3714 error, note that our mailstore is not 17,179,869,184.0 GB in size.

AmyJ Posted March 15, 2005 Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 >> I turned off circular logging, then rebooted since it didn't take affect right away (must be a better way...). There is a much better way. After disabling Circular Logging go into the Services and stop/start the Microsoft Exchange Information Store. This should be sufficient. When rebooting an AD 2003 Exchange Server you might as well plan for breakfast and lunch - because that's how long it's going to take... All kidding aside, I wasn't able to reproduce this with preliminary testing. I enabled Circular Logging, ran a Full backup, then disabled it and ran a Differential with no errors. However, our configurations are undoubtedly different. What version of Retrospect are you using? What type of backup set? Does this occur on both new or existing backup sets? If you execute a Full backup and then try a Differential does the problem persist? Oh, and the 17,179,869,184.0 GB file that was 'remaining' is referring to the log. It's a UI defect that will be resolved in a future release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlg Posted June 5, 2005 Report Share Posted June 5, 2005 So far, the only way I can get a good Exchange Server backup is to do a full. Partials won't work, even after a full. Then again, Retrospect likes to die a violent death on a regular basis too, so there are obviously other issues with the software... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
