dmekalianappliedst.com Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 (edited) Retrospect 7.5.508, Exchange 2003 Sp2, Windows 2003 Sp2 When the server is backed up, drives C and D backup fine. Now when we backup the Exchange storage group, I get this error below. Everything was backing you fine for two years, until a few days ago. Another backup also takes place that does a brick level backup and it completes fine. Just can't backup the "the first storage group". Created test backup script, same results, removed added client (on Retrospect), remove, reinstalled client on Exchange server. Rebooted Exchange, Retrospect server. Any help is appreciated. + Normal backup using Exchange_IS at 10/13/2008 11:18 PM (Execution unit 2) To Backup Set Exchange_IS...

Mayoff Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 Try creating a new RBU account and configuring Retrospect to authenticate using that new account. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmekalianappliedst.com Posted October 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 (edited) As recommended, created another RBU account per the tech article, and used it to authenticate, still same results. Again, I can do a brick level, just not full "storage group" backup. Can I get a more definitive answer? Event viewer just tells me that the job failed. Update, I removed the Exchange Server in clients in Retrospect, then added it back. Now I see "Exchange Server" but it doesn't expand and show any storage groups. I do see all the mailboxes, it expands fine. Hopefully this helps. Thanks Thanks Edited October 14, 2008 by Guest Added text Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayoff Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 Is the computer name and exchange server name the same or different on the exchange server? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmekalianappliedst.com Posted October 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 The Exchange server is named "Exchange", the Retrospect client name is "Exchange". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayoff Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 The computer has a name displayed within "my Computer". The Exchange installation also has a name associated with that install of Exchange. Are you confirming that the Computer name and the name used by Exchange to identify this exchange server are both the same? The named displayed for the Retrospect Client is not important in this situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmekalianappliedst.com Posted October 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 The names match. Again, this was all working fine for the past two years. My Computer Computer Name: EXCHANGE.domainxxxx.com Exchange System Manager Under Server name is EXCHANGE More information. When I logged into the Exchange server, I got this error. Retrospect Encountered a Problem and Needed to Close Error Signature szAppName: retfwset.exe szAppVer: 7.5.116.0 szModName: retfwset.exe szModVer:7.5.116.0 offset: 00002f79 Seems to be the firewall reset program.

Mayoff Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 That program should only be running when Retrospect itself is being installed. Sometimes the problem is very subtle and may be hard to address in the forum. This situation may require a call to tech support. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmekalianappliedst.com Posted October 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2008 Problem Solved. I re-applied Exchange 2003 SP2, didn't help. I re-applied Windows 2003 SP2, and it fixed it. The Storage Groups now appear and I can successfully back them up. After beating up my customer, I found out he ran a program called CleanUp! v4.52 (a freeware utility) on the server. It must have deleted a system file or critical file. When a customer tells you "I didn't do anything" don't believe him! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
