Cannot backup Exchange VSS Error
in [Microsoft Exchange]

From: introtologic on 25 Sep 2008 13:01 Thanks for the suggesion John. I tried to create a Database-Level backup only. Still the backup failed. In application log First the same VSS error showed up then some information entries telling me that storage gourp is froze, thawed ready for copy etc. One infromation entry mentions dirty shutdown state: Log Name: Application Source: Storage Group Consistency Check Date: 9/25/2008 11:13:11 AM Event ID: 200 Task Category: Database Header Validation Level: Information Keywords: Classic User: N/A Computer: email.company.net Description: Instance 1: Database headers have been successfully validated. All databases are in a dirty shutdown state. To bring these databases to a clean shutdown state, log generations 8367 (0x000020af) to 8379 (0x000020bb) will be required. The log generation numbers are different each time I try to back up and as you can see it is an information entry not an error. this is followed by several more info. entries about different tasks Log file integrity check etc and all show completed tasks. Then these four errors appear: 1.

From: John Fullbright on 25 Sep 2008 21:28 You're failing during the consistency check of the logs. Descibe your disk layout. How much space do you have allocated for shadow copies? If your database is on the system volume, and you run both a system state and exchange backup at the same time, you get a conflict like this. If you don't have enough space for the shadoiw copy you can get a conflict like this. If you run multiple SG backups one after the other and don't have enough space for shadow copies .... I'd investigate that path. "introtologic" <otgkhan(a)gmail.com> wrote in message news:7815de0f-50d3-4b90-b415-9d1238f990ef(a)z66g2000hsc.googlegroups.com... > Thanks for the suggesion John.

From: introtologic on 26 Sep 2008 10:45 Exchange and OS are set up on a Single hard disk. The exchange DB size is about 20 GB. But it hasnt been backed up in a while and the logs have grown in size. Still the used space on the drive is about 60 GB and 70GB is free. Shadow Copy settings allow for as much space needed (No limit set). Currently regular shadow copies are not enabled. IN past several backups I have only been trying to run the exchange Db level backup (Not system state and not even Document level backup for exchange.) I have opened up a support ticket with ArcServe again but all they do is tell me to give them time to do some research and then comeback with some KB articles which don't help.
