BE 2010 Exchange 2007 Backup reliability problems

MixedMindz
Level 3

Hello,

I am having problems with my exchnage 2007 backups.

In a nut shell I have 8 storage groups on a Exchange 2007 CCR cluster.

I have 1 job per storage group.

Each job uses a different B2D device.

These devices are dedicated folders on our DataDomain Dedeuplication storage device.

Every job apears to periodicaly fail.

Every job also works.

Today is an average day...

6 of my backup jobs failed. 4 worked.

I then retry each of the 6 failed jobs. 4 are successfull 2 fail.

I retry the 2 failed jobs.

1 is successfull 1 fails.

I retry the 1 failed job.

fails again.

retry again.

it is successfull.

now I have my 10 good backups for the day!

Fail Jobs have this error: (small amount of data written)

ok, I said I had 8 storage groups and my example adds up to 10.

But you get the Idea.
