I am running BUExec 2010 on Windows 2008. 64-bit SP2. I have two seperate jobs that run each night, a Full backup of my Exchange 2010 Information Store and an incremental backup of my Windows 2008 file share. These are two seperate servers (file and exchange with backup running on a third). There is about an hour time lapse between the file server backup completing and the Exchange server backup beginning.
The problem...I try to do a restore from the incremental file. When I select an individual file for restore (does not matter which file is selected) the Public Folder store in the Exchange becomes selected and a restore for the file server cannot be completed (as the job tries to restore Exchange).
ITEM TO NOTE: Each of the failed attempts to complete a file server restore involves a SUCCESSFUL backup of the File server, but a failed attempt at the Exchange server, but NOT every failed Exchange server job causes the file restore issue.
Every couple of days the Exchange backup will fail with "0xe00084f9 - A communications failure has occurred between the Backup Exec job engine and the remote agent. Final error category: Resource Errors." The byte count and the time elapsed of a failed job is the same as a successful job. The timing of the failed jobs is not consistant. I have had the jobs fail 1out of 5 days or run successfully for two weeks. I have other Exchange jobs that run on weekends and monthly that are full server backups (file and Info store) and have never had an issue (same account is used for these). I have searched the forums to troubleshoot the 0xe00084f9 error. I have found nothing that corrects it (the account that is used to backup Exchange has all the required rights/mailboxes).
So, to summarize, I have a restore from one job that picks files from another. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
