GRT backup of Exchange Server 2007 SP1 using Backup Exec 12.5 SP2 always Completed with exceptions

[Symanticus]

Hi All,

I'm having problem in backup of Exchange Server 2007 SP1 using Backup Exec 12.5 SP2 agent ?

the following exceptions are always reported in all of my Exchange backup :|


Backup- \\Exchange01.domain.com\ExchangeOAB
 - AOFO: Initialization failure on: "\\Exchange01.domain.com\CertEnroll". Advanced Open File Option used: Microsoft Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS).
V-79-10000-11231 - VSS Snapshot error. Activity on a volume is preventing all volumes from being snapped. Try selecting the option  'Process logical volumes for backup, one at a time' , and then run the job again.

the credentials that I use is the domain\administrator password ?

can anyone here please help or explain this matter ?

Thanks.

hello,

try applying this Microsoft update: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/940349

this update solves quite a bit of VSS issues...

Hi Albert,

There is a bit of unknown here.
I've been told not to use AOFO with Exchange, yet I do and have no issues clearing logs, or backing up Exchange etc.
What I would do is go into Tools --> Options --> Advanced Open File, and select:

Process logical Volumes for backup one at a time.

This will snapshot your drives one at a time only.

To VJWare, thanks for pointing it to useful link.

Yes I did that already Craig. For some reason, the CertEnrol and ExchangeOAB (Offline Addressbook) and Address folders cannot be backed up ?
the rest of the entries is Successful - used server credentials.
