Hi Kenneth.
-Have you tried to use the exchange user program? From there you can configure
debug levels. Go to level 4 or 5. If you get no clue from there try increase
the debug by 2.
-Are you backing up through a slow link? And are there any routers in the way?
I've seen issues with timeouts. While you are doing the backup try monitoring
the ports on either or both servers (client and server) with a netstat (e.g.
netstat -na 3 | find "peer IP address" > logfile.txt )
Look for ports that loose connection. My bet is on port 7937 which is the
control port and stays idle most of the time.
-If you want to know if this is an exchange issue / module issue or not, you
can use ntbackup to file of the exchange. Then backup the file with regular
filesystem backup. It will be different from usual filesystem backup since
you'll have one big file instead of many smaller, thus to the network it will
feel the same.
Thats my two cents. Please let us know how this one goes. I've been dealing
with stuff like this the past few weeks, and I'm sure I'll be seeing some more
of these kind of problems very soon.
Regards, Johannes

Subject: Re: [Networker] Networker module for exchange and vss
Looks like this key
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSExchangeIS\ParametersSystem]
"Disable Exchange Writer"=dword:00000001
Did the trick, found it in a kb for enableing VSS on microsoft small
buissiness server.
Just annoying the EMC doesnt mention this anywhere in thier admin guides.
I guess something similar will have to be done on the various SQL2005
servers too :)
Would be nice if they could make it part of the networker module for
exchange/sql server install, like they have made the firewall config part
of the regular client install :)
But now my savet set MSEXCH:IS fails after 120 minutes, every time... the
group inactivty timeout is set to 240 mins.
If I run MSEXCH:IS/first storage group/mailbox store and MSEXCH:IS/first
storage group/public folder store seperatly they run fine !
The error I get is this in the windows event log
Information Store (9064) First Storage Group: The backup has been stopped
because it was halted by the client or the connection with the client
failed.
And this from networker exchange log

Disable vss and see how it responds. Have you checked the applogs and
the daemon.raw?
