Hi
I am having a problem with my exchange 2010 backups failing using Windows Backup on SBS2011. I had a server crash last week and had to do a hard reset and since then Exchange will not back up successfully. The databases mount OK and email seems to be working
fine. I have run the mailbox recovery powershell commands to find and fix any issues with the mailboxes and they have come back with no errors. I tried to run a FULL backup again but I still get the message - The application will not be available for recovery
from this backup. The consistency check failed for the component .. Information Store.
The databases are mounted and healthy and I am able to dismount and remount them. I have used eseutil to check them and they are in a clean state.
In the Event log I have event ID 565 - I also get the errors 9782 stating the backup has completed the backup with errors - and no log files were truncated and ESE error 2007 - Shadow copy instance aborted.
I have tried to get around this problem and created a new mailbox database and done a local mailbox move from the affected database of all the mailboxes but I get the same errors on the new database when trying to back it up (full backup).
I have checked the database location and each one has the same problem - the e00.chk, e01.chk files are of a type "recovered File Fragments"
Anyone know of how to fix this? (preferably without losing any data)
Thanks
Alan
