Eric,
Yes this is normal, well at least for us! Best thing to do is to have the
user delete those 4 messages. Make sure they completely delete them and
not just leave them in their deleted items folder. If they leave them there
the next backup will fail as well. The data on the tape should still be
good, and I was able to restore even though I had a failed status. Hope
this helps!

Thanks a lot.

We also had reports of corruption on our backup (Veritas 7.3 version). The
users did delete these messages completely, but they still are reported on
our Backup Report.

See Veritas TechNote ID: 190668 How to find out whether the items in a
mailbox or the mailbox itself, are corrupt.
