An error occurred while accessing Microsoft Exchange Server

Hi!

We are getting the below error while backing up Exchange 2003 installed on a windows 2003 Server. The server is fully selected in backup job.

"Microsoft Site Replication Service" is not snappable. Attempting to back up directly from the source volume.

Arrow error occured while accessing Microsoft Exchange Server. Check the application event log on the Exchange Server for more Details.

Warning: \\mailserver.domain.com\Microsoft Site Replication Service\SRS Storage\SRS MDB is a corrupt file. This file cannot verify.

Hello,

in the selection list of your Exchange job deselect 'Microsoft Site Replication Service'  refer to link: http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH68213

But we need to convert Exchange 2003 to a virtual machine for 2003 to 2010 migration. Will it work if we deselect this option?

Thanks.

It will work but it would be much better to do the migration first and then conversion to virtual.

I actually need to convert the physical exchange 2003 to virtual, shut down the physical and then do the migration. Exchange 2010 will also be physical.

Thanks.
