Good Afternoon, Can we assume as the this is a cluster, that you are backing up the passive node of the exchange cluster.
We are using a different product for exchange backups, but there are at least two problems that can cause problems with the passive node backup. For one of them we see the snapshot for the first storage group does not work correctly and the backup does not have a snapshot to backup. Can you relate what the ese event logs on the exchange server are reporting for this backup. Also you should be able to find tsm logs with more detail. -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of TSM User Sent: Thursday, March 05, 2009 12:53 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [ADSM-L] Exchange TDP backup issue I'm trying to get the Exchange TDP 5.5.1.0 working on a Windows 2008 server running Exchange 2007. We're at the point now where we are getting the below error running a script from the command line. I'm neither a Windows nor Exchange admin, but the admin I'm working with has verified that all databases are in fact mounted. The TDP is seeing the correct number of storage groups, so we're getting to the Exchange server. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated; I'm beating my head against a wall at this point.
