Hi,
Backup job has been failed due to "0xe0001904 - A failure occurred querying the Writer status" error.
A review of the event logs on the Exchange server at the time of the failure reports:
Event ID : 9840
Event ID: 9814
Event ID: 9609
As per article - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/930800
I have restarted the Exchange server. But still i have received the above event id' even after server reboot.
All the VSS writers are in stable state now.
Server OS = windows 2008
Exchange server = Exchange 2007
Job log Error as below:
Backup- FTL4V-79-57344-6404 - AOFO: Initialization failure on: "\\XYZ\Microsoft Information Store\First Storage Group". Advanced Open File Option used: Microsoft Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS).
Snapshot provider error (0xE0001904): A failure occurred querying the Writer status. Writer Name: Exchange Server, Writer ID: {76FE1AC4-15F7-4BCD-987E-8E1ACB462FB7}, Last error: The VSS Writer failed, but the operation can be retried (0x800423f3), State: Failed during prepare snapshot operation (8).
There is sufficient Free space available on all System drives.
Please let me know why backup job is still failing....
