SBS Exchange not available for recovery with Server Backup

Hi
I have a Small Business Server 2008 that we have taken over, and have found that the Exchange has not been backed up over the last 2 years, showing now a total of around 62000 log files,
When running windows backup it gets to the screen showing
"Running consistency check for application Exchange"
This then fails, and the backup continues, but then tells me after that "Completed with Warnings"
and under the errors in windows server backup it says "Application will not be available for recovery from this backup, Consistency check failed for components Microsoft Exchange Server"
The following is what I have done to try resolve this issue, 
Stopped SQL services then tried running the backup
Stopped Information store and tried running backup
Used Eseutil /D 
Enabled Circular logging on the Exchange and tried the backup again,
Please remember this database has not been backed up in 3 years, and there are log files from 2011, so loosing all the data is not an option,
Regards
Sergio Spinola

Loosing the data is unlikely, and most of those logs will have been committed already.
If you dismount the store, and run eseutil /mh "dbpath.edb" you can see which log files are required for the store to mount.

  • Windows Server 2012 - Backup failing with Exchange - The application will not be available for recovery from this backup. the consistency check failed

    Hi
    We have a Windows 2012 server with Exchange 2013, all is working fine except now i am getting issues with the backup.
    'Exchange - The application will not be available for recovery from this backup. the consistency check failed for the component Microsoft Exchange Server'
    I have checked the database all is fine, i have created a new db and move all mailbox;s over and then removed the old db, i have enabled circular logging and then disabled it, it seems no matter what i do i cannot get a full backup!
    i did have to restore the server once and the backups still worked for about 4 days after that and then stopped, i have also tried to remove and re add the backup role!
    i am stumped, any advice would be great!

    Hi
    Ok, i created a test db and tried to back it up right away, it failed, i did not add any mailbox's to it either. i got quite a few events in the windows logs, as well as the same event above i got the following:

  • IBooks really not available for devices with iOS6 and lower?

    Hi,
    this official article http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4059 states that iBooks should be available for "iPhone and iPod touch with iOS 4 or later."
    I've presented my old 3GS to my cousin, she likes reading. After resetting the device and registering with her Apple-ID she is not able to install iBooks. In the app store it surprisingly states that at minimum iOS7 is requried. Really?
    Question: how do we get iBooks on a 3GS with iOS6 when it wasn't loaded there before with a given Apple-ID?
    BR,
    Martin

    Thank you so much for this prompt answer! Will try this out, of course. But anyway, why it needs to be that ugly and complicated? And do we argree that the support article is simply wrong on this?
    Thanks again,
    BR,
    Martin

  • I have Firefox 5.0.1, and a theme I want to download says that it works with Firefox 4.0b9pre - 7.0a1, but at the top it says that it is not available for my platform. What do I do?

    I just downloaded Firefox 5.0.1, and one of the themes I want to download and try out says that it works with Firefox 4.0b9pre - 7.0a1. At the top, though, it says that the theme is not available for my platform. It has happened with some other themes as well, but I didn't check what versions they work with. I don't know what this means or what to do about it. The theme is at this link: https://addons.mozilla.org/z/en-US/firefox/addon/bloomind-ft-deepdark-2/

    It says:
    <blockquote>"Bloomind FT DeepDark 2" is a theme that has been created to transform the look of Firefox 4 for <b>Windows</b> users. It has been specially designed for Seven, but rendering is relatively accurate on XP and Linux (<b>I can t test it on MAC</b>, but for those who would like to try it anyway on that platform, <u>you can force download and install it</u>).</blockquote>
    So try to save that file via the right-click context menu.

    All good, I loved with AppStore and now everything seems to be back to normal.

  • This email address is not available for use as an Apple ID. You may already have an Apple ID associated with this address. Please try again or sign in using your existing Apple ID.

    I want to change my apple id but get the message "This email address is not available for use as an Apple ID. You may already have an Apple ID associated with this address. Please try again or sign in using your existing Apple ID.".  I try to log a call with apple support and I get a message like "cannot schedule a call".  That leaves me out of options.  Any ideas?

    Hi billfromwandering,
    I'm sorry to hear you are having these issues changing your Apple ID. It is correct that if an email address has been used previously for an Apple ID, it can not be used for a different Apple ID, as noted in this article:
    In most cases, your Apple ID is also the primary email address of your Apple ID account. You can change your Apple ID to any other email address you control, as long as it's not already in use as an Apple ID. If your email address ends with @icloud.com, @me.com, or @mac.com, it's already an Apple ID. 
    Change your Apple ID - Apple Support
    If you are certain that the email in question has never been used for an Apple ID and you are having issues contacting Apple Support regarding this issue, you may want to make sure you are going through the Apple ID support channel on the following page:
    Apple ID - Contact - Apple Support

  • Autofill in Google Toolbar does not appear to be working with Firefox 4 - Aways saying Autofill not available for this page even on pages I have used it before FF4 upgrade

    Autofill in Google Toolbar does not appear to be working with Firefox 4 - It aways gives the message "Autofill not available for this page". This is happening on pages I have used Autofill on before upgrading to FF4 from Firefox 3.5.x

    i did not see a solution posted - I tired what I read. Going back to an old version may solve the problem but it is a stupid solution so I have yet to do that.
    I am on version 4 and autofil this does not work :
    Popular answer Go to this answer
    Uninstall version 5, then Google "google toolbar version 4", follow the link to FileHippo.com, and download and install the last version 4. When you reinstall it, make sure you turn off the option to perform automatic updates.

  • Finder is not available for standard user

    Hi,
    I recently installed OS X (10.8.2) from app store. We created "Data" folder and created few admin and non admin users. Granted access to both users to same folder. When admin logged off and standard user logged in, he could not find Finder. Repeated this with 8 standard users and Finder is not available for all 8 standard users. For 2 admin users Finder is available.
    We did not change any settings whatsoever, so not sure this behavier is by design or I am missing something.
    Please help
    Thanks in advance.

    Are you running OS X 10.8 client or Server (is Server.app installed)? If you are using OS X Server, are these local accounts or network accounts?
    What do you mean by "could not find Finder?" As in could not log in? Could not access this 'Data' folder in Finder?

  • Database Error: RSR0009: Resource not available for pool. Wait-time expired

    i am occassionally receiving the following error during database connections in my servlet:
    Database Error: RSR0009: Resource not available for pool [webAdvisorTestPool]. Wait-time expired
    i understand that this is a result of a connection leak from improper closure of my Connection object, but i thought that i was properly closing my connection.
    i can get the error if i do the following steps:
    1) access my login page and enter login credentials.
    2) submit the login which then hits the Authentication servlet.
    3) Authentication servlet authenticates and takes me to home page.
    4) hit the back button to get back to the login page.
    5) repeat this process until i hit the Max Pool Size (from web server).
    6) then i get the error message
    here are some details:
    i have an Authentication servlet; here is the pertinent code from that servlet:
    try {     // retrieve the user and add the User object to the session     DAO dao = new DAO();     Person authenticUser = dao.getPerson(userID, password);     session.setAttribute("validUser", authenticUser);     redirectPage = mapping.findForward("success"); }
    i also have a DAO object that handles all of my DB transactions (and you can see from my code above that the Authentication servlet is using that object); here is the pertinant code from that servlet:
    public DAO() {     datasource = "java:comp/env/jdbc/webAdvisorTest"; } public Person getPerson(String userID, String password)     throws ObjectNotFoundException {     // JDBC variables     DataSource ds = null;     Connection conn = null;     PreparedStatement stmt = null;     ResultSet results = null;     // User variables     Person validUser = null;     try     {         // Retrieve the DataSource from JNDI         InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext();         // if this statement fails, NamingException is thrown         ds = (DataSource)ctx.lookup(datasource);         // get DB connection and perform SQL operations         conn = ds.getConnection();         // User variables         String validUserID = null;         String validFName = null;         String validLName = null;         String validEmail = null;         // get DB connection and perform SQL operations         conn = ds.getConnection();         stmt = conn.prepareStatement(PERSON_QUERY);         stmt.setString(1, userID);         stmt.setString(2, password);         results = stmt.executeQuery();         // iterate through the results         if (results.next())         {             validUserID = results.getString("id");             validFName = results.getString("first_name");             validLName = results.getString("last_name");             validUser = new Person(validUserID, validFName, validLName);         }     }     // handle SQL errors     catch(SQLException e)     {         e.printStackTrace(System.err);         throw new RuntimeException("Database Error: " + e.getMessage());     }     // handle JNDI errors     catch(NamingException e)     {         throw new RuntimeException("JNDI Error: " + e.getMessage());     }     // clean up resources     finally     {         doClosure(results, stmt, conn);     }     // if the user was not found, throw ObjectNotFoundException     if(validUser == null)     {         throw new ObjectNotFoundException();     }     return validUser; } protected void doClosure(ResultSet results, PreparedStatement stmt,     Connection conn) {     if (results != null)     {         try { results.close(); }         catch (SQLException e) { e.printStackTrace(System.err); }     }     if (stmt != null)     {         try { stmt.close(); }         catch (SQLException e) { e.printStackTrace(System.err); }     }     if (conn != null)     {         try         {             System.out.println("R18Resources.conn before close: " + conn);             conn.close();             System.out.println("R18Resources.conn after close: " + conn);             System.out.println("R18Resources.conn is closed? " +                 conn.isClosed());         }         catch (SQLException e)         {             System.out.println("R18Resource conn close error: " +                 e.getMessage());         }     } }
    as you can see, i've added some print statements in my connection closure block. based on my output log, each connection is being properly closed and i am not encountering any errors during that closing block.
    any ideas???

    Please try the following code in your doClosure method. Replace your code with the following code.
    public void doClosure(ResultSet pResultSet, Statement pStmt, Connection pConn) throws Exception {
    try {
                   if (pResultSet != null) {
                        pResultSet.close();
                        pResultSet = null;
              } catch (SQLException se) {
              logger.error( se );
              } finally {
                   try {
                        if (pStmt != null) {
                             pStmt.close();
                             pStmt = null;
                   } catch (SQLException se) {
                   logger.error(se);
                   } finally {
                        try {
                             if (pConn != null) {
                                  pConn.close();
                                  pConn = null;
                        } catch (SQLException se) {
                        logger.error(se);
    And let me know if you still face this issue. What is the application server you are using?

  • OCM exam environment software not available for download

    Hi all,
    As per the oracle 11g master certification mentioned in the certification portal, the exam will be conducted in the following environment
    3. 10.2.0.5 grid control with 11.1.0.6 as repository database.
    However 10.2.0.5/11.1.0.x grid control verison is not available for download. Kindly guide me how i can prepare my test environment for exam preparation.

    I have finally received some additional information on this topic. Here is a message from our exam developers:
    To prepare for the OCM exam, candidates should focus on mastering the tasks for each Skillset. Software can be downloaded from the Oracle Technology Network (OTN) to build a practice environment. Use the latest software available from OTN; it is not necessary to build a practice environment on the exact OS and database software versions used in the OCM exam. Later releases of Oracle server support nearly all features and functions of earlier ones; for any software version, relevant parameter values, naming differences and obsolete features may be found in the product documentation, which is available from OTN.

  • New DSO data fields are not available for transformations in the upwardflow

    Hello,
    There are data flow from
        many source DSOs -> Target DSO -> Final DSO.
    Different transformations are defined and activated with DTPs. This works fine and provides the desired results.
    now new fields are added to the target DSO, final DSO and one of the source DSO.
    When I now try to edit the transformations, the new fields are not part of the sources at the different stage.
    The fields are available in the Data Source created out of a DSO but not directly when using a DSO as a data source.
    Have anyone faced such a problem?
    any solutions to this?
       - I cannot delete all the other transformations as this is too much work to do and there is no time for it.
    Regards
    Kannan

    We created ZMD_BS_MAT_OVP_LAYOUT. But the situation has not changed - the fields are not available for edit.
