The backup runs, verifies, then fails.
The error message associated with this suggests it is an Exchange server issue.
We use GroupWise as our mail.
We have rebooted the Windows server, the Novell server, and the tape device.
The only software installed were Microsoft patches and McAfee's ePO agent.
Our other Novell servers backup without error.
