I've been testing backup exec 12.5 for a couple of days now. All is going well except for the exchange 2007 backup.
The setup is the following. I've got my backup server (windows 2008 standard) hooked up to my tape drive via scsi. The exchange stores are located on a san which is mapped to my exchange 2007 server (on a windows 2008 standard server). I'm backup everything up through a remote agent (aofo installed). I've got vss enabled on the exchange
I've installed backup exec with the following options:
- Tape device drivers
- enable robotic library support (heb een robotic tape drive)
- AOFO
- Agent for microsoft exchange server
- san shared storage option
Now when i try to backup the exchange stores it stops after the pre-scan with error number 80042306.
This is the warning in get in the error log of my exchange server:
Volume Shadow Copy Warning: The provider has reported a storage identifier that is not supported by VSS. Codeset: 1 Type: 5 Size: 4 NextOffset: 24 Association: 1 This identifier will be skipped by VSS.
Operation:
Check If Volume Is Supported by Provider
Add a Volume to a Shadow Copy Set
Context:
Execution Context: Provider
Provider Name: HP StorageWorks MSA2000 Family VSS Provider
Provider Version: 2.4.0.20
Provider ID: {bd04cbf9-212c-4553-9ea5-c5bfb05ccc8f}
Volume Name: \\?\Volume{26f66274-b7bf-11dd-b95b-0022640cc844}\
Snapshot Context: 0
Execution Context: Coordinator
This is the error generated in my exchange server
BeginPrepareSnapshot called with LUN that does not have snapshot enabled, partition class = 0, partition type = 0, partition ID=00C0FFD70E170000E3E9264901000000.
So i'm guessing the problem is at vss but that's enabled on the exchange. Anyone got any ideas as to what's the problem is?

You mentioned that your stores are on SAN
Is there a hardware snapshot provider, like EMC snapshot provider or DELL snapshot provider on exchange server
IF yes have you tried disabling them?
