I'm running exchange 2010 with backup exec 2010 exchange agent. Backups were working fine until i created a dag with a server in another office. What's weird is that when i accidentally had the database mounted on my redundant server (we'll say node 2), the backups worked fine. When i reactiveated the database copy on my primary server (node1), the backups failed with the error message:
Final error 0xe0000f04 - The media server could not connect to the remote computer. The remote computer may not be running the backup exec agent for windows/linux.
When I look at the log file, under job operation backup, under servers it has my redundant server (node 2) listed instead of my primary. When the backups were working when i accidentally had the database mounted on my redundant server, if i look at the log file under servers it has the primary server listed. It's as if backup exec doesn't want to do a backup on a database that is mounted? I've looked every in the configuration including making my node 1 server the primary server. This is driving me nuts!
If you anyone has any ideas how to make it so that backup exec is backing up the mounted database on node 1, i would be really grateful!
