Incomplete Backups 1

[jchown]

I recently noticed my transaction log sizes getting huge (>5 gigs) so I checked my back up logs. Evidently msbackup is skipping some files so the transaction logs arent being deleted. When I check the event logs i see
"Event Type: Error
Event Source: ESE

Information Store (2336) The streaming page read from the file "C:\Program Files\Exchsrvr\mdbdata\priv1.stm" at offset 743526400 (0x000000002c515000) for 4096 (0x00001000) bytes failed verification due to a page checksum mismatch.

Unfortunately my last back up that was successful is over a month old, so restoring isnt an option. Any ideas onhow I can overcome this without restoring from an old backup?

Ok so no one knows either.... Can I delete priv1.stm?

Update (in case anyone is searching).
my smtp engine had stopped, i restarted it and on a whim tried the backup again. The back up was successful this time. I am guessing that this trouble may have been started by a lack of available disk space as my logs had some entries referring to disk space being low. I moved my pagefile to another drive, defragged and then restarted my smtp engine (which must have quit on the weekend) and disaster averted!
