Exchange Backup Fails: 0xe00002f7 / V-79-57344-759 / VFF Open Failure

Hello,

we are using Backup Exec 2010 R3 SP4 (Ver 13.0 Rev. 5204 (64Bit)) on Windows Server 2008 R2.

This Server is doing a Backup of an Exchange 2010 Server running on another Windows Server 2008 R2 via Remote Agent for Windows Servers.

The backup is running two times a day:
In the middle of the day to disk.
In the night to tape.

The Backup was running fine for several years.
Since 3 weeks the backup to tape fails, while the backup to disk still works fine.
Nothing was changed.

The error is (translated):
_______________________________________________________________________
Completed status: Failed
Final error: 0xe00002f7 - Cannot extract mailbox messages from the Exchange backup. Review the job log for more information.
Final error category: Resource Errors

For additional information regarding this error refer to link V-79-57344-759

Backup- \\"servername"\Microsoft Information Store\PRIVDB02
V-79-57344-759 - Unable to complete the operation for the following reason: VFF Open Failure.  This can be caused by low memory or disk resources.
_______________________________________________________________________

 

What we have already tried:
-Restart Server
-Update Backup Exec to newest Version
-Install Hotfix TECH164659
-Solutions from this articles:

http://www.symantec.com/connect/forums/0xe00002f7-cannot-extract-mailbox-messages-exchange-backup-0
-deleting an recreating the backup-job
-delting and reinstalling the remote agent
-deleting Files on Exchange Server to get more free disk space
-defining max cache size for Exchange Information Store to get more free RAM
-Installing all Windows an Exchange Updates (Exchange 2010 SP3 Update Rollup 7)


Nothing of the above did help, we are still getting the same error on backup to Tape while Backup to Disk runs fine.

Can anyone help?

 

Thanks

      Hi Laurie,

      I am on BE2016, with Exchange 2016...

      I was getting 100% success rates with Exhange 2010, but now that we have migrated to Ex2016, I am also getting this old error. I have tried the DWORD mentioned in the article (which I assume is NOT a typo in that there is a space in the DWORD name)... rebooted, ran another incremental, and the same error popped up.

      (please advise if I should now remove the DWORD, or if it's safe to leave with BE2016/Ex2016)

      Any thoughts? Or something I am missing?

      Here is the exact text of the error:

      October 25, 2017 12:23:48 AM - V-79-57344-759 - The backup selection '\\Crom.aquilonia.orb\Microsoft Information Store\Mailbox Database xxxx2' was not successfully processed for Granular Recovery Technology (GRT). The Database Recovery failed with Error '*Null*'. You will not be able to restore individual items for this backup selection

    Thanks for the help.

    I made the changes, but the backup still fails with the same error.

    If the disk backup is successful, but fails to tape, then could be due to "staging".

    On the Exchange server, browse to the following path in the registry ~

    HKLM\SOFTWARE\Symantec\Backup Exec For Windows\Backup Exec\Engine\Exchange

    Create a new String named "OnHostTemp" and set the value as C:\Temp (or any other NTFS, local volume on the Exchange server which has plenty of free space to stage the entire Information Store)

    Restart the BE services on the BE server and the Exchange server and then retry the backup.

    Thank you, but we have already tried that and it did not help too

    (please see list of things we have tried in frist post)

     

    The exchange database "PRIVDB02" which fails is 55GB while the chosen OnHostTemp volume got 109GB free space

    On the same server there is also another database "PRIVDB01" which is 170GB and a public folder database which is 161GB

    all three databases are backed up in one single job, but only "PRIVDB02" fails, even if it is the smallest of them

    Have you tried backing up  "PRIVDB02" in its own job and not together with the other databases?

    No, we didn't.

    But somehow the backup is working normaly again since 2 Days.

    Maybe it's the combination of both solution or i've missied a Restart after one of them?

    Thanks for your help!

    Can you mark the solutions that helped ? Or list them in your own post.

    Sadly I don't know what helped, because i didn't change anything on the day before it suddenly started working again.

     

    I believe it was both in combination:

    and:

     

    If the disk backup is successful, but fails to tape, then could be due to "staging".

    On the Exchange server, browse to the following path in the registry ~

    HKLM\SOFTWARE\Symantec\Backup Exec For Windows\Backup Exec\Engine\Exchange

    Create a new String named "OnHostTemp" and set the value as C:\Temp (or any other NTFS, local volume on the Exchange server which has plenty of free space to stage the entire Information Store)
