Event id : 34113 - Snapshot technology error (0xE000FED1): A failure occurred querying the Writer status.

Hi everyone,

One of our clients uses Backup Exec 2012 SP1 and I am responsible for Backup Exec as an technical support engineer.

We have an issue for backing up Exchange database. All databases are backing up succesfully but two of them always get this error.

I need for advices in order to resolve this problem quickly.

Event id : 34113 on backup exec server

And this is the error message in backup exec :

V-79-57344-65233 - Snapshot Technology: Initialization failure on: "\\[Exchange server name]\Microsoft Information Store\[Database_name]". Snapshot technology used: Microsoft Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS).

Snapshot technology error (0xE000FED1): A failure occurred querying the Writer status.

Check the Windows Event Viewer for details.

Writer Name: Exchange Server, Writer ID: {76FE1AC4-15F7-4BCD-987E-8E1ACB462FB7}, Last error: The VSS Writer failed, but the operation can be retried (0x800423f3), State: Stable (1).  

 

  • In a command prompt, run vssadmin list writers.  If there are any writers which are not o.k., reboot your Exchange server.
