- Microsoft Exchange Server, version 4.0
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SYMPTOMS
========
The log files are usually deleted after you perform a full online backup. If the
log files fail to be deleted, check the Application event log and look for the
following event:
Event ID: 61
Source: EDB
Type: Error
Category: Logging/Recovery
Description: MSExchangeIS ((275) ) Unable to write a shadowed
header for file d:\exchsrvr\MDBDATA\edb.chk.
CAUSE
=====
The problem occurs and the event is written in the event log because there is
corruption in the .chk file.
WORKAROUND
==========
To work around the problem, use the following steps:
1. Stop all of the Exchange services.
2. Move the .chk file out of the Mdbdata directory.
3. Restart the services.
Performing these steps causes the information store to play through all of the
log files and then create a new .chk file. When the steps have been completed,
perform a full online backup and the log files will be deleted.
