ntbackup
Are you backing up to disk or tape? If you attempt to do a restore is it an option to recover the desired databases? i.e. you should be able to act like you want to do a restore and walk through part of the process to see if the databases show as being recoverable but not execute it. If they are not showing as a recoverable item then you are more than likely not backing up the databases. I would also check your application event logs to see if the backup is truly finishing without error Troy Werelius www.Lucid8.com Search, Recover, & Extract Mailboxes, Folders, & Email Items from Offline EDB's and Live Exchange Servers with Lucid8's DigiScope
