SYMPTOMS

NTBackup currently does not log files as being either backed up or restored for a Microsoft Exchange Server database backup and restore operation.

The expected behavior is that NTBackup should be incrementing the file count for files backed up and restored, and these file names should also be included in the log file that NTBackup generates.
