Hi All,

Ive been having numerous problems with backup exec and the error "Final error: 0xe000fed1 - A failure occurred querying the Writer status."

The option I had set for the backups was that this isnt ticked - should I be using it and if so whats the best practice to set it at?

The setup we have is SBS 2008 SP1

 

Thanks

 Hello,

 

SBS2008 by default uses backups based on snapshot (VSS)

So what would you reccomend - not ticking it at all? Or setting it to ticked with use automatic option?

Hi,

It dosent matter if you tick it or not...W2008 will by default use Volume Shadow Copy (VSS) Snapshot based backups, it was not in the case with W2003
