Hi,

My Exchange is operational at the moment and I'm reluctant to make any changes but my backup logs are reporting a corrupt file, yet the size of the backup is still the same as it was before it started failing.

Here is the backup log file;
Backup of "\\SERVER\Microsoft Information Store\First Storage Group "
Backup set #2 on storage media #1
Backup set description: "exch weekly"
Backup Type: FULL - Database & Logs (flush committed logs)
Backup started on 09/10/2003 at 04:50:22 .
Database Mailbox Store (SERVER)
Database Public Folder Store (SERVER)
Log files
Access denied to database .
^ ^ ^ ^ ^
WARNING: "Log files" is a corrupt file.
This file cannot verify.

Event Viewer is also reporting the following errors;

Most likely your one of your logfiles is corrupt and therefore cannot be cleared upon a full backup. You risk an unmountable database once you restart your server. There is a KB article discussing a related problem:
