    Make sure your BE Service Account has permissions to Exchange as per the TN below:

    Also, if you have turned on AOFO, turn it off and let BE use VSS natively to do the snapping of Exchange.

    Do you have Exchange on a VM or a physical server, and if a VM, how are you doing your backups?

Please make sue that you are backing up using Microsoft information store, EDB files will skip if you are backing from directory 

If your exchange is a standalone server, on the selection list you should see Drive (C,D), system state, and MIS (Microsoft Information Store) , you need to backup the EDB using MIS. If you are running Trail version make sure application and Database option is checked in Installing and Licenses Wizard. 

Please find the document below

If you Exchange is in DAG:  Configure the backup given as per TN given below
