Brightstor Arcserve v11.1 error E8608 HrESEBackupPrepare failed

Hi all,

I am having a problem with arcserve backups, every time a backup is run there is this particular error in the log:

[10/04/2005-21:58:53 ,0,0,0,0,0,2,1,0,0] dbaexchsrs Version 11.1 Build 3060 7-21-2004 Microsoft Exchange Server 2K/up
[10/04/2005-21:58:53 ,0,0,0,0,0,2,1,0,0] E8608
[10/04/2005-21:58:53 ,0,0,0,0,0,2,1,0,0] Failed to enumerate databases. (AGENT=dbaexchsrs, EC=MARGE:Backup Agent Error -- (1355) "Exchange Server Error. HrESEBackupPrepare failed. Check Backup Agent Activity Log".)

I have searched google and found & tried 2 possible solutions so far (to no avail):
1. replace asbackup.dll with a newer version &
2. This from a user on tek-tips.com:
"I solve my problem with Arcserve Backup 11.0. Was getting that E8610 Error: Failed to get database information. When I looked at the exchg log on the exchange server it say that HrESEBackupPrepare failed.
I am part of a WAN. We had Exchange 5.5 and upgrade to 2003. I had to keep 5.5 becuase some site were still running 5.5. finally we decommation 5.5. That's when the error started. One of my corporate techies told me that I was backing up the Microsoft Exchange Server - Database Level (ISR) and that was not longer needed since I didnt have 5.5. I removed that from my backup and the error went away."

The problem still occurs.

Please help!

Cheers

Adam

Thanks for your suggestions guys  but it was actually because there were some pointers to the old exchange that we had running.

I have split the points for your good responses
