OK, in light of recent comments about the looong questions not being answered, let me restate my question:
Is this the right place to get a question answered about problems using Windows backup and Exchange 5.5 (sp4)? If so, could someone kindly refer me to another forum?
Thank you,
Eric Holliday

Subject: Error when backing up Exch. 5.5 (using MS backup)
Hello all,
First, a little background info:
Environment:
Exchange 5.5 sp4, Enterprise
Compaq Proliant ML530, dual Xeon 866 proc., 1Gb RAM, 69Gb SAN (whoohoo!)
OK. I am temporarily using MS's Windows Backup (ver. 5), until we have Veritas' NetBackup in place.
On two of my three servers, it works fine. On the third one, I consistently get the following error:

The kicker is, there is no other backup process running! I have rebooted the server, to no avail.
Any ideas?
TIA,
