Hello,


You can refer to the below mentioned technote :


"Final error: 0xe000fed1 - A failure occurred querying the Writer status" or "VSS Writer failed, but the operation can be retried (0x800423f3) State: Failed during freeze" occurs when backing up Exchange databases with AOFO and Microsoft Volume Shadow Copy Service.
