The behavior is the same on all exchange servers. If it were firewall then we 
would not be able to get 3 Stores at a time. 

No cron jobs on Backup server that would cause any issues. No other jobs have 
this error.

Nothing but NSR VSS snap errors that I have not found anywhere on line to help 
with.

We have set the verbose mode to -vvvv and still no luck with different errors.

I appreciate your help sir. It seems to me that there is an issue on the 
Exchange side of things but I cannot log into them. I am only the backup 
administrator. Not exchange administrator.
