The Microsoft Exchange Replication Service VSS writer did not successfully complete the backup of the storage group. |
Explanation
This Error event indicates that the writer of the Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) of the Microsoft® Exchange Replication service could not finish the VSS backup because the backup set did not pass an integrity check. A storage group that was part of the backup set was unavailable at the end of the backup process. This condition triggers the error. When this error occurs, VSS backup fails.
User Action
To resolve the error, follow one or more of these steps:
Run VSS backup again on the backup set.
