Symantec Backup Exec 2010 Errors While Backing Up MS Exchange; Final error: 0xe000fed1 - A failure occurred querying the Writer status.
Posted on 2010-08-25
I get and error when doing an Incremental backup of Exchange with Symantec Backup Exec 2010.
If I do a Full backup it will complete correctly but when I do an Incremental it fails immediately.
The server OS is SBS 2008
Below is the logged error

In command prompt, type in vssadmin list writers
This will show you exactly which writer failed - in this case, VSS writer (plus something else, if there is).
Also normally a reboot fixes the issue.

Just out of curiousity is exchange in a vm ? Had an almost identical issue where I couldnt backup exchange at the vm level when I moved to backupexec 2010 from 12.5, I had to install the remote agent on the exchange server directly and backup the exchange server directly for my full and incrememntals to work. Hope this helps
Exchange is not in a VM
I have rebooted several times
I ran vssadmin list writers and the following writer failed
Writer name: 'ASR Writer'
Writer Id: {be000cbe-11fe-4426-9c58-5
Writer Instance Id: {5b1df0fe-b897-4422-9edb-e
State: [7] Failed
Last error: No error
I did find out that it only happens when performing an Incremental backup on Exchange. If I run a Full backup everything is fine if I run an Incremental backup I get the error and nobody can connect to Exchange until I reboot the system.
