Backup Job gives error, but completes...

I have been getting this error recently, but have not been able to resolve it.

The weird thing is that all the backup tasks are completed, but it still throws this error.

Error category    : Resource Errors
Error             : e000ff12 - A communications failure has occurred with an Exchange Store resource.

For additional information regarding this error refer to link V-79-57344-65298

One or more Microsoft Exchange databases were backed up but the Symantec Backup Exec Active Directory Recovery Agent is not installed. Symantec recommends that you install and use the Active Directory Recovery Agent to better manage your Microsoft Exchange data.

Does anyone know what is going on? It recently started doing this.

This was known issue in BE2010 r2 please check link below

http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH152847

If you are on BE2010 R2 version please upgrade to BE2010 R3 first it is an free upgrade and will use same licenses and would be in place upgrade keeping all your job settings and configuration as it is.

BE 2010 R3 Installer -http://trialware.norton.com/files/fc/Backup_Exec_2010_13.0.5204_MultiPlatforms_Multilingual_DVD.iso
(Same can be used for SBS)

Will I want to update the agents on the Servers also?

I found that I am already on R3, but am running updates on the Backup Exec now.

After you do your updates, you should push put the remote agents again.

Well,

I am upto date and it is still giving the same error.

Do I need to install that agent to get it to stop giving the error message?

We have the full version, not the SBS version.

Yes once you upgrade to BE 2010 r3 sp2 and all updates using live update then push install remote agent on remote server to update them too and once done check remote agent version on Media server and Remote Server to check they are matching & then try again

To check remote agent version you need to go C-program file- Symantec-Backup Exec- look for beremote.exe

Hope that helps

Thanks

Sorry, there is some confusion here.

Yesterday I pushed out the updated all the agents to the media servers (Nav, Exchange 2010 and a 2008 fileserver)

As per the error message "Symantec recommends that you install and use the Active Directory Recovery Agent to better manage your Microsoft Exchange data."

Should I install that agent?

If so, where do I go to install it?

This is only recommendation and it is your decision to install Active directory recovery agent and not an error or warning

Also this Agent is useful for doing individual restore of user in Active direcotry for example when particular user is deleted using this agent you can do a restore if you have done GRT backup of Domain controller

http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH168076

If you want to install the agent you can go tools-install options and licenses & then if you have license for Acitive Directory recvoery agent you can enter it or else you can also install in trialware to see how it works and later on you can decide to purchase it

If it is just a suggestion, then why does it say my jobs fail?

I don't like having my jobs report that they fail, I have it set to email me in the event of a failure and so it always emails me.

Is there nothing we can do to stop this evil?

There is no way to stop this recommendation as said earlier it is recommendation and not an erorr ,you can post the entire job log here , Error always would be in red color and warning in orange color and the above recommendation which will be in job log will neither in red or orange color

Thanks

No, it appears in red, and says job failed

Job name            : Tape Drive 001 - Mon,Wed (no verify)
Job type            : Backup
Job status          : Failed

Error category    : Resource Errors
Error             : e000ff19 - A communications failure has occurred with a SQL Server resource.

For additional information regarding this error refer to link V-79-57344-65305

One or more Microsoft Exchange databases were backed up but the Symantec Backup Exec Active Directory Recovery Agent is not installed. Symantec recommends that you install and use the Active Directory Recovery Agent to better manage your Microsoft Exchange data.

All the backup tasks in the list if I go through the log say completed.

But it gives me a big job failed message in the job history section with a cross mark through it.
