Exchange 2007 restore - Backup Exec Unable to Attach to a resource
- by Andy
I have been struggling with this one for months! Grateful for any advice.
The setup is a windows 2003 server network, 4xservers on the domain. Two exchange 2007 servers (only one with mailboxes still on). Backup Exec (12.5) on a non-exchange server with agents on the others.
Backup exec runs a full backup of exchange across the network well, at pretty reasonable speeds. However, when you try any kind of restore (individual emails, mailboxes or whole system restore - all to same location or to alternate server, RSG etc) the following message is received within about 10-15 secs of starting the job:
Job ended: 24 December 2010 at 13:28:32
Completed status: Failed
Final error: 0xe000848c - Unable to attach to a resource. Make sure that all selected resources exist and are online, and then try again. If the server or resource no longer exists, remove it from the selection list. Edit the selection list properties, click the View Selection Details tab, and then remove the resource.
Final error category: Resource Errors
For additional information regarding this error refer to link V-79-57344-33932
Things I have already tried:
Changed account to main administrator account (with all permissions)
checked versions of ese.dll on both servers - both the same
Checked all VSS writers on both servers are stable / normal
restoring to different locations
Any advice anyone could give would be much appreciated.
Many thanks,
Andy
