Using FRS 61
4. Click Create at the bottom of the Create shadow copy window. Storage
group copying begins. The copy is placed on a volume in the recovery
storage group you identified when you installed FRS.
The Activity Log shows the stages of copying and their success or
failure, ending with a completion message.
5. When copying ends, click Close to close the window. FRS now has a
recovery-ready LUN containing the shadow copy of the storage group
or database. You can create shadow copies as often as needed.
Troubleshooting copy failures:
If a copy fails, examine the copy activities shown in the Activity Log to see
which activities failed. Failed Exchange copies can often be traced to a
failed storage group integrity check by the eseutil.exe utility. This typically
indicates physical file or page damage in the production storage group.
Required wait time after backup
Microsoft currently requires that you wait ten minutes after a successful
Exchange backup before you attempt another backup. If a backup fails after
the ten minute wait time, check the state of the Exchange VSS Writer by
typing “Vssadmin list writers” at the command line. If the Exchange VSS
Writer state is unstable or crashed, restart the Volume Shadow Copy
Service and the Microsoft Exchange Information Store service (this will
momentarily disable all user mailbox access to that Exchange instance).
