Also let me know if you have AOFO selected in the Job , Incase if you are backing up exchange will suggested you to create a sperate backup job for exchange and make sure the AOFO is not selected it the job

Hello,

As per the Job logs we have Windows Server 2003 and we are not using AOFO in the Backup job.

As per the job logs I assume that we are backing Exchange 2003 on Windows Server 2003.

Recomendations:
1  : It is NOT recomended to Backup Databases such as Exchange, SQL etc...with AOFO...
2  : Split the job into 2 seperate jobs:
       1st job will backup the Exchange Information Stores without AOFO
       2nd job will backup the Drives with AOFO Selected.

3  : AOFO configuration:
      -- Open the job properties...
      -- Highlight AOFO
      -- Select : Use Microsoft Shadow Copy Provider
      -- Select "System : Microsoft...under Snapshot Provider Drop down menu for the Non-Exchange job

4  : Make sure that the AOFO is NOT selected for the Information Store Backup job

If we are backing up Exchange 2007 no need to split the job. We can configure AOFO in the below manner:
-- Open the job properties...
-- Highlight AOFO
-- Select : Use Microsoft Shadow Copy Provider
-- Select "System : Microsoft...under Snapshot Provider Drop down menu for the Non-Exchange job

yup some of the files are required ... If you backing up Systewm state all the open system files would get backed up . so you can get your server up after restoring the C drive and the system state

if the AOFO option isnot used the open files would be skipped . but all the system files are open adn they will get backed up when you backup system state
