Hi
I am having problems with the following error message when backing up Exchange 2007 SP3 mailboxes with Backup Exec 2010 SP3 on a MS 2008 SP2 server:
"e0008516 - Resources specified for snapshot do not have any valid data on them. Check if files were deleted or renamed."
I have tried absolutely everything to fix the issue, spending hours (and hours) reading and trying all the solutions I can find online. In my case the ONLY solution which works EVERY time is to restart the Exchange server and retry the backup job. The reason I wanted to post this thread is that the problem for me only started in August when I upgraded the server from SP1 to SP2 and Exchange 2007 from SP1 to SP3. I also did all other Windows updates on that day. Prior to this, the backup job in question had ran successfully for over three years!
What I find is that the backup will work for 5-10 days no problem then fail. After a restart, it will work again for another period of time before failing again.
I have a very long list of updates that may have caused the issue, too long to list here. But has anybody else noticed this behavior only started after an MS updates(s)?
Thanks
Andrew
