Windows SBS 2008 Backup not working with Exchange 2007
Thanks for the information Dave Shackelford. Your explanation is right on the money. That explains why I am able to successfully backup after doing a clean dismount. Do you think that a dismount / remount before using the SBS 2008 backup and its VSS add-in would allow the backup to proceed...- rlconklin

Windows SBS 2008 Backup not working with Exchange 2007
We have VSS making shadow copies successfully twice daily. When SBS runs the SBS 2008 Backup for the drives, it does not backup the Exchange mailbox databases. As a workaround, I created a script that dismounts the Exchange mailbox databases, performs the backup, and then remounts the databases...- rlconklin
