If the Event Log is saying that the last machine restart was unexpected, then
it has probably blue screened (or you have a power issue). Disable the
automatic restart on failure setting, and verify.

Yeah, it's Backup Exec 12. I'm not backing up the VM file—I've got a BE

oddly I am sitting in a Win2008 class, and the instructor is covering this.
How about checking the new Perf Mon functionality... reliability manager
and see if there's anything on the server going on..

I have a Windows 2003 server with MSVS hosting a BES server (has some

try to backup with Backup Exec. It has something to do with VSS, but I
have not been able to figure it out.
I had looked there (see my comment about the reliability monitor). Not a peep
in there; it thinks everything is peachy.

I would open a case with Symantec.
DPM does this with no problems.

Same thing happens when I try to just backup the files on the VM. Something
about BE and an Exchange VM don't play well. I am looking for different
software for backup
Again, we're not talking about a system *crash*-we're talking about a *reboot*.
Yea, it very well could! BE install's drivers for one...
