Microsoft Exchange Writer Non-retryable Error
Exchange provides two different VSS writers that share the same VSS writer ID but are loaded by tech70486 two different services. The first is the Exchange Information Store VSS writer and the second is the Exchange Replication Service VSS writer. The Information Store writer allows for the https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/acd21893-f5a9-4d75-a8ac-d5590f980a80/microsoft-exchange-writer-retryable-error?forum=exchangesvravailabilityandisasterrecoverylegacy backup of active / mounted databases and the replication service writer allows for the backup of passive databases (should a replicated database model be utilized). You can see the writers by running the command VSSADMIN LIST WRITERS from a command prompt. Here is a sample put of a VSSAdmin List Writers from a Windows 2008 R2 SP1 https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/timmcmic/2012/03/11/exchange-and-vss-my-exchange-writer-is-in-a-failed-retryable-state/ server with Exchange 2010 SP1. Note how both writers share the same writer ID within the VSS framework. Writer name: ‘Microsoft Exchange Replica Writer' Writer Id: {76fe1ac4-15f7-4bcd-987e-8e1acb462fb7} Writer Instance Id: {17e8df11-a8a2-4ee3-a3fb-e552b7da2d83} State: [1] Stable Last error: No error Writer name: ‘Microsoft Exchange Writer' Writer Id: {76fe1ac4-15f7-4bcd-987e-8e1acb462fb7} Writer Instance Id: {e0ad4b68-8938-4be5-9b88-4c74df2b2d65} State: [1] Stable Last error: No error In the course of protecting Exchange servers there maybe conditions that cause a backup job to fail. When an Exchange backup job fails the VSS framework aborts the backup and subsequently Exchange clears the backup in progress settings. When a failure is encountered either a single Exchange writer or both Exchange writers maybe left in a FAILED RETRYABLE state. We can utilize VSSAdmin List Writers again to query the writer status and see these results. Here is an example showing the Exchange Replication Service writer with a status 8 FAILED last error RETRYABLE. Writer name: ‘Microsoft Exchange Replica Writer' Writer Id:

Check the Windows Event Viewer for details.

The VSS Writer list always shows "retryable error" for the Microsoft Exchange Replication Writer, and the condition only occurs on this database, which is the largest of 5 databases, at 500GB, and is the last DB to be backed up. Followed all recommendations found so far: AOFO turned off, tried re-registering VSS, but a re-boot of the passive node is the only thing that works ... sometimes. Again, no consistency, not even in the failures or successes. The past 2 nightly backups failed while the previous 3 ran successfully. Re-booting the Exchange server(s) to fix
Exchange VSS Writer and how it effects your ability to back up your Exchange servers. When VSS Writer is in Error stage the backup software won't be able to take successful backup and most likely backup team will open ticket and ask Exchange team to fix the VSS writer so their software can perform the backups. If you are in large enterprise environment where you have backup team , windows team and Exchange team now you are in the Chicken and egg war as the backup tram will blame on Exchange writer and Exchange team will ask Windows Team to fix the issues (-: and as you can see things will get quite interesting. As we already know VSS technology has been around quite a bit and third party Vendors are relaying on Microsoft native VSS writer to perform backup functions when it comes to backing up Exchange 2010 Application. Now before we move forward more let's make sure we get the basic done.

The sort and most common answer is going to be re-start the service which the writer is associating with. As you can tell re-starting replication service might be acceptable at most of the work environments as it does not cause any end user disruption. However dealing with IS service is different ball game, even with Exchange 2010 DAG environment, most places will be hesitant to re-start this service ( Failing over to DAG member is for sure valuable option, draining one server and deal with it make sense) . Another option could be dedicating a Exchange 2010 Server for backup and availability services ( putting
