Problem

When backing up Exchange 2010, jobs fail with the following error:

Backup Exec 2010 and above uses the Temp location of the partition which has the largest space to perform the recovery. The above error can be observed when the partition runs out of space during the soft recovery process of GRT (Granular Restore Technology), or when the Temp folder is hidden.
