The job failed with the following error: A failure occurred querying the Writer status.
Hi all,
We have a daily backup that we run Monday - Friday that is used to back up Exchange. However, fails randomly (a lot!) with the error: "The job failed with the following error: A failure occurred querying the Writer status." on the VSS Writer. We also run a daily system backup 1 hour after exchange job finishes - which runs sucessfully.
We have tried rebooting the server and setting a pre-command to restart the service before the backup starts.
I have had a look through the internet and have had no success.
BE is running on SBS 2008 Server with BE being v2010
Any ideas on how to resolve this?
Thanks

...and I take it that your media server is also fully patched? And that these patches have been push-installed to the remote servers you might have?
