Hi All,
I'm attempting to use the Networker Module for MS apps to backup Exchange data
but not getting anywhere fast !
Can backup data fine using the Exchange agent.
I'm using networker 7.6, with NMM 2.2.1, Exchange 2003 SP2, Windows 2003 SP1.
Using a custom schedule to perform daily fulls only.
The exchange user account is had admin rights in Exchange, is in domain admins
& backup operators
I have created config as per the documentation, with snapshot pool/profile &
added remote host into Admin group.
I can perform file system backup and restore fine using VSS and specifying a
path ie F:\Logs, however when I try to reference APPLICATIONS:\Microsoft
Exchange Writer as the save set, the fails with "Format string Save set name %S
is valid cannot be rendered correctly"
Application info :
NSR_SNAP_TYPE=vss
NSR_ALT_PATH=C:\REPLICA_MOUNT
when I look in the application event viewer I can see the VSS writer being
successfully initiated "NMM initialisation of VSS writers has completed", then
the next entry is "NMM failed to complete successfully"
...
messages shows :
67770:nsrsnap_vss_save:NMM .. Snapshot rollover policy. Group: "ExchangeShort"
Snapshot Policy: "Serverless Backup" Rollover: "All".
76962:nsrsnap_vss_save:NMM .. Snapshot policy. Group: "ExchangeShort" Snapshot
Policy: "Serverless Backup" Retain: "0".
47363:nsrsnap_vss_save: nsrpsd service is running on <MACHINE_NAME>
snapvss_quoow_save: Dumping disk quota databases into OS drive
75652:nsrsnap_vss_save:
Format string Save set name %S is valid cannot be rendered correctly
63335:nsrsnap_vss_save:NMM backup failed to complete successfully.
Internal error.
68151 1280406026 2 0 0 2292 2608 0 <MACHINE_NAME> nsrsnap_vss_save 39
nsrsnap_vss_save: Exiting with failure. 0
The save set info I have given is the output of "nsrsnap_vss_save -?" run
locally on the exchange host
Any help would be appreciated as I'm chasing my tail now
[Crying or Very sad]
Out of curiosity, how many people are using the NMM instead of App modules such
as SQL or Exchange ?
Does anyone have a listing of what other guides are available like :

Thanks in advance
