Hello all,
I have been dealing with our Veritas backups failing for over a week now and it is driving us all nuts.
It seems we've narrowed the problem down to one component: the VSS on windows server 2003. Specifically, when I try to backup our Exchange 2003 server, we get the error listed at the bottom of this message.
It all points to the VSS and when I read up on the Veritas site, it really doesn't help....when I run the "VSSadmin list writers" command, all of the items listed have no errors but some list a state of "[5] Waiting for completion". Specifically, System Writer, IIS Metabase Writer, MS Exchange Writer, & WMI Writer.
Does anyone have any thoughts on how to solve this? also, oddly enough, our incremental backups run just fine - this only happens on our full system backups.
We do have the Exchange and the Advanced Open File option installed and licensed for Veritas as well.
Thanks all,
Sam
