Exchange backups repeatedly failing
Hi all,
I am having problems with Acronis exchange backups. Basically it eventually fails – sometimes after a day or so, sometimes after a week or even a month. This has been going on for about the last six months. To resolve I have been restarting services, deleting and recreating the tasks and even rebooting the server. It works temporarily then starts failing again.
What is strange is that after an error, I will restart a task and it will fail again. But if I recreate the task exactly, it will then work for a while.
The backup job has varied in the past to resolve these issues, but is now CDP.
The server:
2x dual core (four cores total – 8 with hyperthreading) – 8gb ram. The database sits on a RAID10 with over 500gb space, the current size of the database is 75gb. The OS & Exchange sit on a raid 5 and the logs on a mirror. All arrays have plenty of space.
OS: 64-bit server R2 (with SP2) – Exchange 2007 SP1. - about 200 mailboxes. Nothing else is installed on this server, it does Exchange and that’s it.
Acronis – latest versions for both Exchange and Backup and Recovery 10. These were installed a month or so ago – I uninstalled the old versions and did a fresh install of the newest versions.
The backups are going to a network share on a 2003 server with 1.2TB of free space over a gigabit connection. Other servers backup to this server without issue.
The three relevant logs have been attached from the latest failure. The relevant lines are:
Log 1 = Backup task failed. Reason: Acronis Network connection terminated.
Log 2 = SSL Error: Premature close; SSL Error: SSL_write failed; SSL Error: SSL_read failed
Log 3 = Insufficient system resources exist to complete the requested service
As an FYI – I restarted the Acronis services, and restarted this task and it ran OK this morning.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Rob
