HrESEBackupPrepare Error - doesn't fills the INSTANCE_BACKUP_INFO structure

Hi all,

I'm writing a small backup application using ESE Backup API. When I call HrESEBackupPrepare it get executed successfully with return value S_OK. But the subsequent HrEseBackupSetup call fails with the following error in system event log.
System Event log message is:
---------------8<----------
Source : ESE Backup
Category : Callback
EventID : 904

"Information Store (2568) Callback function call
ErrESECBPrepareInstanceForBackup ended with error 0xC7FE1F45 Instance
not found."
--------->8-----------

Although HrESEBackupPrepare was success , the INSTANCE_BACKUP_INFO's cDatabase and cIconDescription values was 0 (which i initialized before the HrESEBackupPrepare call). But the instance_count (which was 1 - No of Information store in exchange server) and hInstanceId ( valid integer) seems to be correct.

Any guess where I'm going wrong.

Hi sharma,

Thanks for reply.

NT Backup util performs backup/Restore without any problem.

I didn't change anything in my exchange server 2003 (sp2) .

Actually I declared teh function pointer for getting INSTANCE_BACKUP_INFO as pointer to pointers[INSTANCE_BACKUP_INFO**]. And then the problem is solved.
Thanks for support.

Moderator, can you refund my points please?
