V-79-57344-33932 Unable to attach to a resource

[Eddie_Vermeer]

I get this error message on every back up I run against an SBS 2000 server. It appears when it tries to attach to the Exchange server.

The log suggests that the Exchange databases have been backed up and the sizes do match. However, i still cannot get to the bottom of this error.

I have found an article in the kb regarding Backup Exec 9 and have checked this against the servers settings and everything is as the solutions suggests but the error still appears.

I have checked the Backup Exec system accounts permissions and have also created a new account from scratch with the necessary permissions. Each account is able to send and receive emails and I am now currently running on the new account.

All help is greatfully received.

This is the typical error message I am receiving.

Unable to attach to \\SBSSERVER\Microsoft Exchange Mailboxes.

Is this an upgrade for the exchange server? Did you delete any public folders or private information stores?

I had this problem after upgrading to Exchange 2003 and removing the old server. My selection list was set on looking for a replication folder that no longer existed.

I'd reccomend creating a new selection list and switching to that and seeing if the error reoccurs. This type of message is normally associated with the selection list either being corrupted or looking for an item that no longer exists in my experience.

No upgrade to the server has been performed, other than service packs and hotfixes since implementation several years ago. No recent service packs or hotfixes have been installed recently.

However, I have just recreated the job and run a test which has worked (although has done so before). I will run a full backup tonight.

I have also looked at the kb article but it isn't relevant. Where it says that a change needs to be made, this has already been done.
