Hi Team,

We have facing an issue with our Infra, While we try to restore a full database from Exchange DAG backup to another database with same node but we getting below error and job will failed continously

 

"Exchange VSS writer reported an error, Please check the windows event log and log files for more information Process: Cv Exchange Database restore"

Kindly request you to share any solution for above mentioned issue

Hi @Adarsh.op 

 

 

Please Make sure that the database that you want to restore is dismounted and marked for overwrite.

Please make sure VSS writers of Exchange are healthy ( Start-cmd-vssadmin list writers)
If you use Exchange 2010 or later, the backup is VSS-enabled by default.
If you use Exchange 2013 or later in a DAG environment, see the Microsoft TechNet article "Backup, Restore, and Disaster Recovery", http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd876874.aspx.

 

The Exchange Writer sees that the log path is already in use. 
Make sure you don't have this Database within a DAG replication. Remove the Database from the DAG, then restore it and add it back to the DAG once the DB is restored.
