A client of ours is running Exchange Server 2007 under Windows SBS 2008 and the Backup Exec 2012 job will periodically fail with the following error:
Backup- \\W2K8\Microsoft Information Store\First Storage Group
V-79-57344-65233 - AOFO: Initialization failure on: "\\W2K8\Microsoft Information Store\Second Storage Group". Advanced Open File Option used: Microsoft Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS).
Snapshot provider error (0xE000FED1): A failure occurred querying the Writer status.
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).
What's wacky, to me, is that the job will run successfully 60-80%, but when it fails, it always fails with the above error. Does anyone have any ideas on how to prevent this failure from occurring?
Thanks!
