Exchange Backup Failing 'file read failed(13)'
Our Netbackup 7.5.0.5 Exchange backups have started failing with 'file read failed(13)' errors. Both servers (Exchange and Netbackup) are running on Server 2008 R2. The mailstores (database & logs) are residing on a Netapp FAS2040 with SnapDrive managing snapshots which are created frequently without error. The Netbackup policy itself is set to perform snapshot backups using VSS Provider Type 1 (System), without a DAG database source, has been backing up without any problems until some Windows updates including SP3 for Exchange 2010 were installed. The job fails as follows: 28/11/2014 10:32:33 - Info nbjm(pid=5940) starting backup job (jobid=186119) for client exchange, policy EXCHANGE, schedule Full_Disc 28/11/2014 10:32:33 - estimated 0 Kbytes needed 28/11/2014 10:32:33 - Info nbjm(pid=5940) started backup (backupid=exchange_1417170753) job for client exchange, policy EXCHANGE, schedule Full_Disc on storage unit NexsanDSU 28/11/2014 10:32:34 - started process bpbrm (484288) 28/11/2014 10:32:40 - Info bpbrm(pid=484288) exchange is the host to backup data from 28/11/2014 10:32:40 - Info bpbrm(pid=484288) reading file list from client 28/11/2014 10:32:40 - connecting 28/11/2014 10:32:43 - Info bpbrm(pid=484288) starting bpbkar32 on client 28/11/2014 10:32:43 - connected; connect time: 00:00:03 28/11/2014 10:33:27 - Info bpbkar32(pid=11548) Backup started 28/11/2014 10:33:27 - Info bptm(pid=484816) start 28/11/2014 10:33:28 - Info bptm(pid=484816) using 262144 data buffer size 28/11/2014 10:33:28 - Info bptm(pid=484816) setting receive network buffer to 1049600 bytes 28/11/2014 10:33:28 - Info bptm(pid=484816) using 30 data buffers 28/11/2014 10:33:29 - Info bptm(pid=484816) start backup 28/11/2014 10:33:30 - Info bptm(pid=484816) backup child process is pid 482596.479660 28/11/2014 10:33:30 - Info bptm(pid=482596) start 28/11/2014 10:33:30 - begin writing 28/11/2014 11:07:53 - Error bpbrm(pid=484288) from client exchange: ERR - Terminating backup. 28/11/2014 11:07:53 - Error bpbrm(pid=484288) from client exchange: ERR - failure reading file: Microsoft Information Store:\1GB Limit Mailbox Database\Logs_1417170539 (BEDS 0x0: ) 28/11/2014 11:08:03 - Error bpbrm(pid=484288) could not send server status message 28/11/2014 11:08:04 - Error bpbrm(pid=484288) cannot send mail to ... 28/11/2014 11:08:05 - Info bpbkar32(pid=11548) done. status: 13: file read failed 28/11/2014 11:08:05 - end writing; write time: 00:34:35 file read failed(13) I have checked the VSS Writers on Exchange and all are showing as stable with no errors.

I appreciate this is probably an Exchange issue rather than a Netbackup one, but if anyone has an ideas as to why it is failing I'd be grateful for some help. I have attached some log files, let me know if there is any other information that may help. Thanks

Check this
Hello all, I've been working on an issue we had the last few weeks, where the VAC reported 'items waiting to be indexed', and where the count went up day by day. While working with support, and in this forum, I also accidentally found an KB article of Symantec, describing hanging searches on DA/CA. As these use the indexes, I read the article. The article mentions that a specific Microsoft Update can cause issues with certain programms (TSM, SEP) and affects ASP, .Net and IIS. Hm... Indexing uses these too. We initially left archiving tasks in reportmode, to allow indexing to cactch up, ran dtraces etc. No succes. Support advised we might need to reinstall the indexing binaries. I decided to first have the updated MS Update applied. After having that update applied, and the EV-servers rebooted, indexing catched up. The VAC now shows "No problems detected". Information can be found here: The Symantec article: http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH232439 The updated MS KB article: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3092627 I hope this assists some of you in figuring out in resolving the issue (if you encounter this) Regards, GJNetBackup 7.6.1.2 (NetBackup 7.6.1 Maintenance Release 2) is now available!
