Hi,
Runnings BE 2010 R3 (fully patched) on a SBS 2011 server.
We run 2 backup jobs on an evening to an LTO3 drive
First full backup does everything on server apart from exchange and uses AOFO (this seems to run fine every night)
Second backup appends the tape with a full backup of Exchange and does NOT use AOFO
The second backup randomly fails ( average twice a week) with the following error.
V-79-57344-65233 - AOFO: Initialization failure on: "\\SERVER1\Microsoft Information Store\Mailbox Database". Advanced Open File Option used: Microsoft Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS).
Snapshot provider error (0xE000FED1): A failure occurred querying the Writer status. See the job log for details about the error.
Check the Windows Event Viewer for details.
Writer Name: Exchange Server, Writer ID: {76FE1AC4-15F7-4BCD-987E-8E1ACB462FB7}, Last error: The VSS Writer timed out (0x800423f2), State: Failed during freeze operation (9).
V-79-57344-65233 - AOFO: Initialization failure on: "\\SERVER1\Microsoft Information Store\Public Folder Database 2052815782". Advanced Open File Option used: Microsoft Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS).

But why do I get AOFO related errors when I am not using nor selecting it for this backup job ?
I would appreciate any help on this.
Many thanks
