Error 0xe0008488 - VFF open failure
We have BE 11d 7170 (all patches up to 23) doing GRT backup of Exhange 2007 (64-bit). It was working fine, but suddenly the job started to fail with error 0xe0008488. Here's a snippet from the job log:
The consistency check of the snapshot for the Microsoft Exchange transaction log Logs was successful.
The consistency check of the snapshot for the Microsoft Exchange database Public Folder Database was successful.
Unable to complete the operation for the selected resource using the specified options for the following reason: VFF Open Failure. This can be caused by low memory or disk resources.
The consistency check of the snapshot for the Microsoft Exchange database Public Folder Database was successful.
Unable to complete the operation for the selected resource using the specified options for the following reason: VFF Open Failure. This can be caused by low memory or disk resources.
Same backup job completes successfully when GRT is disabled. I looked up threads on this forum regarding the issue, but couldn't find a solution. I deleted and re-created B2D folder, rebooted media server, checked disk space on media server and on Exchange, checked that VFF driver is running. Eventually I ran the job under debugger and here's what it shows:

How can I fix it?
