Backup Exec 11d Exchange mailbox restore failing

[redneck-tech]

I'm doing Exchange test restores using Backup Exec 11d with SP2. When
I run the restore on a single mailbox which is 72MB in size, the
restore scan exceeds 3GB of data. When it does run however, the
restore fails with and error that there isn't enough free disk space
when in fact there is plenty of space; I even moved c:\temp to D:\temp
where I have over 100GB free space.

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

Have you tried restoring to a different mailbox? Try creating a dummy
mailbox, say "restore_mailbox" and restore then Maybe you will have
more luck that way.

Good luck!

Your actual database may be hitting the default 18 GB limit during this
process, assuming you have not bumped it up to the 75 GB limit. I am a
one-man consulting company so it is just my mail on my Exchange 2007 server,
and when I went to restore one e-mail, I didn't realize that they had
changed the way they do restores (you can use the old method if you have
huge databases by going to options>Microsoft Exchange>Enable Legacy Mailbox
Support) and staged the whole database so I ran my C: drive out of space. I
moved the temp location to D: and deleted the temp files on C;, but that was
not the end of my trouble.

A few days later a customer complained about my mail bouncing. I used the
Exchange 2007 Mail Flow Troubleshooter tool and realized that they were not
going through due to my database being out of space. Although there are
other ways to solve this, since I just have a couple of mailboxes, I just
made a new database and moved the mailboxes and moved on fine. You will need
to make sure that your backups sets do not need to need to be recreated.
