Hi We are having some strange things here, this is running on a win2k3 cluster. NTbackup does not see the exchange databases as exchange databases, rather just file level. Very different to a standalone 2k3 machine with Exchange 2003 on, which works fine.
The other strange sympton we are seeing is OFS backups of the local drive and ASR backups failing for no damn good reason. Adding the cluster administrator to the registery for the VSS service has got rid of the OFS backup problems, but the ASR backup still fails with ANS1468E. Thanks C.

I looked up the error message that you pasted into the ADSM-L append. These messages can be found in the Microsoft SDK file "esebkmsg.h". ----- // // MessageId: hrCouldNotConnect // // MessageText: // // Unable to perform the operation. Either you can not connect to the specified server // or the service you are trying to connect to is not running. // #define hrCouldNotConnect ((HRESULT)0xC7FF07D7L) ---------- What happens when you run NTBACKUP? Does it work? If NTBACKUP works but Data Protection for Exchange does not, please call IBM support. The IBM Support Team will need a trace. If NTBACKUP does not work either, I would try Microsoft support.
