Exchange 2010 backups failing

I just got my new Exchange environment successfully backing up earlier this week, and now all of a sudden they are failing again.

I'm running Networker 8.1.1.3, NMM 3.0.1, Exchange 2010 in a simple DAG.

The Backup command is: nsrsnap_vss_save.exe

Application information:

NSR_SNAP_TYPE=vss

NSR_EXCH2010_BACKUP=active

NSR_ALT_PATH=c:\temp

NSR_EXCH2010_DAG=HHDAG1.enterprise_domain.org

CIRCULAR_PROMOTION_POLICY=skip

NSR_EXCHINCL_SA=TRUE

This is the error I get when it fails.

Nothing has changed in the configuration since they were backing up successfully.

Could someone please point me in the right direction to get this resolved?

Thank you

Thank you Hrvoje! I had searched for several different lines in that error, but not that one.

Such a simple fix! Being new to Networker, It would really be nice if their errors weren't so cryptic!

Hi,

I am getting this error when trying to backup SharePoint 2013.

What was the fix?

Hi Sadhbh

Did you do a search to find out about that message? This is most likely a configuration issue.

If you don't find the solution please create a new thread as this one is already answered and was about Exchange.

Thank you,

Carlos
