So here is my setup:
Exchange 2007 on Server 2008 x64 - Server is mailbox role.
BackupExec 12.5 SP1 on Server 2008 x64.
When Backup up Exchange, now I get the following:

If I reboot the Exchange server, all is well. I do not see this as being an issue with the VSS since a reboot resolves the problem. I have found articles out there for modifying registry and performing a 'regsvr32.exe' on a few DLL's then reboot the server. All I need to do is reboot the exchange server and everything is fine. I'm wondering if anyone else is experiencing the problem. I have a hunch that the following may be the cause, just looking for some insight.
I am currently migrating our Exchagne environment from a decentralized Exchange 2003 environment to a centralized Exchange 2007 Environment. I think this issue is caused by a backup and the migration happening simultaneously. Does anyone know of this issue occurring while migrating users from various Exchange 2003 servers throughout the enterprise to this Exchange 2007 server? Does performing a backup while migrating users' mailboxes cause this issue? Is there a fix? As you can see i'm running the latest BUE 12.5 SP1 (client on exchange server is updated as well) I have not seen a KB article for an update to the VSS or anything similar for Server 2008 x64 from Microsoft. By the way, that is x64 Standard for the Server OS on both servers.
PS - i know the error mentions AOFO - but i do not use AOFO for Exchange backups. This license is not entered on the BE server, nor enabled in the backup job.
Thanks for any insight.
