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.

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.
