We're using Netbackup here, and just recently implemented GRT (Granular Recovery Technology). We've been getting good backups the whole time, and now are able to recover to the individual message level. We have a 3 node DAG here.

I've had the same issues since we migrated to Exchange 2010 and that was on SP2. Backup Exec 2012 (and Backup Exec 2010 before I upgraded) always failed on Exchange DAGs here This is a VMware environment. Exchange is on Windows 2008 R2 servers. My environment is simple: two CAS servers, two DAG servers. I opened a support request with Symantec about the issue The response I received is: I would like to inform you that exchange 2010 SP3 is not yet supported by the latest version of BE at the moment. By not supported I mean that BE has not been tested with Exchange 2010 SP3 officialy. Support for the same may be expected in upcoming releases About the VSS writers, BE calls them during the backup to take a snapshot of the databases and logs. But due to some reason the writers fail again and again and cause the backup job to fail inturn. In this case, I would suggest you to contact Microsoft Support to fix the VSS writer issue. Once fixed, you can continue taking backups successfully. Just make sure that the Advanced Open File Option is not selected in the backup as it is not recommended for exchange. Well...that sucks. I didn't know about the advanced open file. so I'll disable that and give it another try. So, what are you folks using for backup? The vss writers are always stable, at least when I check.
