This would mean that when Symantec was looking for the history of logs it could see ones that were being created properly. This led us onto the next step of flushing out the current transaction logs in order for the new ones to be created. Flushing the Exchange Transaction LogsĪfter advice from Symantec about switching off circular logging and re-running the backups in expectance of a pass, what we actually realised was the Exchange transaction logs that circular logging had been using weren't being created as they should have been and so since these types of backups rely on complete history of logs this was never going to work. To keep the pattern and flow of the diagnostic process consistent Symantec advise that you try and run another backup (full backup first, followed by the incremental). Set-MailboxDatabase -Identity "Database Name" -CircularLoggingEnabled $false This can also be done using the Exchange Management Shell, using the following command: Once this has been done and to put the changes into effect, you must Restart the Microsoft Exchange Information Store service.

Click on the Maintenance tab and then uncheck "Enable circular logging".

In the action pane, under the database name, click Properties.

In the console tree, navigate to Organisation Configuration then Mailbox.

This is why, when circular logging is enabled, differential and incremental backups of the Exchange databases cannot be performed (since these types of backup rely on a complete history of logs).

The log files are overwritten whether or not a full or incremental backup has been ran and a history of previous logs since the last full or incremental backup are not kept.

How to Disable Circular Logging in Exchange 2007/2010 If the backups are still failing then the next thing to try is to make sure that circular logging is disabled. To check this you must open up Exchange and on the left hand side expand Organisation Configuration, select Mailbox and then under the Database Management tab on the mailbox database ensure it says "Mounted", if not you can simply right click and remount the database.Īt this point in conversation with Symantec we were advised to re-run the backups again and so I would suggest trying to run a full backup followed by the incremental and see what the results are. Once this has been completed and you see the writer in a stable condition, one thing to make sure is that the Exchange database doesn't dismount itself, as in some cases when performing these actions it was dismounting the Exchange database meaning we had to open the Exchange Management Console and remount it.

Once this has been completed and the service has fully restarted you can repeat the steps for checking Microsoft Exchange Writer status and you should see that the writer has become stable.

In the list of services shown, locate Microsoft Exchange Information Store and click on it, and in the top left you will see Start and Restart.

To do this, complete the following steps Restart MIcrosoft Exchange Information Store Normally a standard reboot of the server will fix this issue, but in my case a reboot didn't work, and so we restarted the Microsoft Exchange Information Store service. You will notice whether it is working or not by looking at the state: in this instance it had failed. This command will list all of the Volume Shadow Copy Service writers in use the one you will need to locate is the "Microsoft Exchange Writer".

Once the command prompt box has been opened type vssadmin list writers.

This is how to find the status of the Microsoft Exchange Writer. If you experience the same issue, this is the error you might see "Microsoft Exchange 2003/2007/2010 backup fails with an error "E000FED1: A failure occurred querying the Writer status" The backups were failing because of an instability in the VSS Writer. The issue was that the Microsoft Exchange VSS Writer was not stable, and this was causing backups to fail.
