Windows SBS 2008 issues

So I've rolled back to retrospect 7.6 thinking I could leave it open on the server and suffer that so I have backups but now I have this problem when only the first mailbox is backed up:

Also running 7.6 I have this problem where it gets stuck on the open file backup if it is enabled:

So am I right in thinking that neither 7.6 or 7.7 can backup and SBS 2008 exchange mailbox? I am suprised this issue is not more widely reported as I can duplicate it everytime on 3 different servers so I assume everyone else has the same problem.

I think you are right with your assumption. Neither Server 2008 and Windows 7 are supported with Retrospect versions prior to 7.7 and in reality 7.7 doesn't really work well... And I'm not even starting about Exchange (which we luckily, from a Retrospect point of view, do not use).

 

As Russ would probably say: "We're hosed".

Sorry, that was the update I was referring to.

 

If you don't need to backup exchange or have your backups run automated scheduled tasks then retrospect is the product for you! ;)

 

Its really poor that this product doesn't support UAC which has been around for ages and Exchange 2007. I shudder to think what the 2008 R2 and exchange 2010 support will be like.
