Hi Jeannie,

Did the problem still happen after restarting the
Microsoft Exchange Replication service?
... or are you waiting for the next schedule to run?

How about the DSMERROR.LOG file in the "baclient" directory?
What's in there? This file will have the best chance to
contain the error. Keep in mind that DP/Exchange VSS backups
utilize the BA Client "DSMAGENT" for the snapshots and
data movement, therefore you need to look in the DSMERROR.LOG
file for related DSMAGENT logging.

Thanks,

Del
