We have a standard Exchange 2003 sp2 on a Win2003 domain. Recently my backup stopped working correctily and the application log told me the database was reaching its license limit of 75GB. When I went into the server the total of the Exchange data bases is less than 30 GB. Why am I getting this message? Is my backup problems (we use Acronis) related to the message?I really would like to avoid doing an offline defrag. Are there other options.

Do you mean 30GB on disk or 30GB adding up the mailbox sizes in ESM?

I added the space that priv1.mdb and pub1.mdb are taking on the disk on the server.We have only one info store.

The sizes are as follows:priv1.edb: 12GBpriv1.stm: 13GBpub1.edb: 145MBpub1.stm: 6 MB

Please provide the exact error event Is there any issue to the exchange/outlook performance? Have you verified the registry key for database limit? (KB 912375) Please verify the health of information store with ISINTEG and ESEUTIL

The warning is:Source: MSExchangeIS MailboxEvent ID: 9688I have checked the registry the max datatbase size is 75GBPerformance is OK but has been slowing in the past few weeks.
