failed retryable state… ★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★ TIMMCMICMarch 11, 201247 Share 0 0 In Exchange 2007 and Exchange 2010 many customers are leveraging VSS based backups to retain and protect their Exchange microsoft exchange writer retryable error exchange 2013 data. By default Exchange provides two different VSS writers that share the same microsoft exchange writer retryable error exchange 2007 VSS writer ID but are loaded by two different services. The first is the Exchange Information Store VSS writer and microsoft exchange writer state 12 failed the second is the Exchange Replication Service VSS writer. The Information Store writer allows for the 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 server with Exchange 2010 SP1. Note how both writers share the same writer ID within the VSS framework. Writer name: ‘Microsoft Exchange Replica Writer' microsoft exchange writer waiting for completion retryable error 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.

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 https://telnet25.wordpress.com/2013/11/06/microsoft-exchange-vss-writer-is-in-a-failed-retryable-state/ 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 microsoft exchange 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. Exchange Server application will provide two different VSS Writers Writer Name Usage Utility microsoft exchange writer to see the writers Status Exchange Information Store VSS writer Backup of Mounted DB / Active Open CMD with Administrator privileges on the Exchange servers issue VSSadmin List Writers ( Command ) Exchange Replication Service VSS writer Backup of Healthy DB / Passive Open CMD with Administrator privileges on the Exchange servers issue VSSadmin List Writers ( Command ) Exchange Server application will provide two different VSS Writers Writer Name Writer Location VSS writer ID Usage Microsoft Exchange Writer Store Writer Built into the Exchange Information store ( MSExchangeIS = store.exe ) {76fe1ac4-15f7-4bcd-987e-8e1acb462fb7} Store Writer is used by Mounted / Active Databases Microsoft Exchange Replica Writer Build into Replication Service ( MSExchangeRepl = msexchangerepl.exe ) {76fe1ac4-15f7-4bcd-987e-8e1acb462fb7} The Replication Writer is used by Healthy /Passive Databases How to deal with failing VSS Exchange Writer issues ? 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
