Title: Error when backing up Exch. 5.5 (using MS backup)

Hello all,

First, a little background info:

Environment:
Compaq Proliant ML530, dual Xeon 866 proc., 1Gb RAM, 69Gb SAN (whoohoo!)

OK. I am temporarily using MS's Windows Backup (ver. 5), until we have Veritas' NetBackup in place.
On two of my three servers, it works fine. On the third one, I consistently get the following error:

-----------------------------------------

The kicker is, there is no other backup process running!  I have rebooted the server, to no avail.
Any ideas?

TIA,
Eric
