ARCserve 2000/Exchange 5.5 Restoring issue HELP!!!

[djayroe]

I need some feedback on this one.
I am attempting to restore an Exchange server to test the database.
I have circular logging disabled on the Exchange server.
I do have the Exchange agent installed on the box.
Before I disabled circular logging, I did not have any issues with restoring.
Now....
The priv.edb and pub.edb restores with out any issue, but the logfiles will not restore.
When I go in and copy them over from the restore to the server and then try to start the information store it plays all of the log files but the last one, then returns an error stating that the log files header is bad.
I think it is an issue with the backup product not Exchange.
I have attempted several restores form several backups with no luck..
Please send any advice, I am pretty strong with exchange but not ARC serve 2000.

Thanks!!!

i have read about this error before but can't remember at the moment what causes this error. I'll get back to you on that soon, but for the time being you can delete all the log files and run isinteg -patch from the exchsrvr\bin directory and the log files will be recreated. This is normal practise after database restores in Exchange.

It is my understanding that you would only want to run ISINTEG -patch if you are restoring from and offline backup.
I am trying to restore and online backup.
any other help would be great, I am opening up a ticket with ARCserver today.
