We were getting failed backups of our Exchange 2007 server on Symantec’s Backup Exec 12d. The error Backup Exec 12d gave us was:
V-79-32772-8928
- AOFO: Initialization failure on: “Microsoft Information Store”. Advanced Open File Option used: Microsoft Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS).V-79-10000-11233 – VSS Snapshot error. A Microsoft Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) snapshot is already running on the target computer. Only one snapshot can run at a time. Try running the job later.

Info:
Check to make sure there are no errors with VSS by opening the command prompt on your mail server and typing in:
vssadmin list writers
Doing so will list all the writers registered with VSS. If you see the Exchange writer in an error or failed state then the overall solution would be to restart the information store and the Exchange server.
In our case, everything was stable.
Solution:
From the command prompt on Exchange Server enter:
- net stop vss
- net stop swprv
- regsvr32 ole32.dll
- regsvr32 vss_ps.dll
- Vssvc /Register
- regsvr32 /i swprv.dll
- regsvr32 /i eventcls.dll
- regsvr32 es.dll
- regsvr stdprov.dll
- regsvr32 vssui.dll
- regsvr32 msxml.dll
- regsvr32 msxml4.dll
- net start swprv
- net start vss
Re-run your job in Backup Exec 12d and the job should run successful
