It was either the stop and restart of the OmniNet II service, or the reboot of the Exchange server that cleared the problem.
The registry key was only set if a restore was in progress, not a backup. Thanks to those of you who responded.

Instead of diminishing evil, it multiplies it... Through violence you may murder the hater, but you do not murder hate. In fact, violence merely increases hate...Returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. -- Rev.

Paul -----Original Message----- From: John Matteson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, November 14, 2001 3:57 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Aborted Backup Procedure I am using HP's OmniBack backup process on the company's Exchange server. The process hung and the backup system had to be rebooted. When we tried restarting the job, the Exchange server blocked the attempt with these error messages: [Major] From: OB2BAR@"MSExchange" Time: 11/14/01 1:25:02 PM [153:9] Connect to Exchange Server failed. [Critical] From: OB2BAR@ "MSExchange" Time: 11/14/01 1:25:02 PM A system or BackOffice error has occurred. Exchange Server reported error number: 0xc80001f9. Message: 'Backup is already active.'. [Critical] From: BSM@"EXG02 - Daily" Time: 11/14/01 13:26:11 None of the Disk Agents completed successfully. Session has failed. Does anyone know if there is a flag in the registry that gets set while a backup is in progress, or a KB articles that tells me how to fix it?
