Is the VSS / Volume Shadow Service running?
ASKER
A service called "Volume Shadow Service" is not started ?
Sorry, it's Volume Shadow Copy service. Should be running and automatic.
ASKER
I have now started this service "Volume Shadow Copy service"
Then your Exchange backup should be successful.

Still have the same problem , i noticed I only have 2.4GB space remaining on the external Windows SBS 2008 USB Backup device. Would this cause the problem ?
Yes, 2.4 gb of free space cauld certainly be your problem. Most Echange DB's are larger than that. You should either create more free space or point it to another external drive where pleanty of space is available. Plan for atleast 10 gig of free space for a basic Exchnage backup.
You can check the approx exchange db size by going to c:\program files\exchange\mdbdata

In order to take an online Exchange-aware backup of a server using LCR or serving as an SCR target you must disable the Replica VSS Writer used by LCR. To do so, follow these steps:
1. Open Registry Editor and browse to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Softwar
2. Add a new DWORD value named EnableVSSWriter and set the value to 0 (zero).
3. Restart the Microsoft Exchange Replication Service.
C) Can you take an offline backup?
D) What backup software are you using?
E) Try creating a new backup job.
F) Are there any other errors that show up in the event logs?

You mean you run the logs in circular mode?
A) that's not a solution to your backup problem
B) make sure circular logging isn't losing some information. You'll have to have enough room so you don't write over info not already committed to the database.
Glad you sorted it out, though :-)
