Hi There!
At my current customer we are using ArcServe UDP backup solution. ArcServe creates quiscing snapshots via VMWare.
When we create a snapshot with VMWare, no errors occur. But when we create a (snapshot) backup with ArcServe, Delayed Write Failed errors occur in the Windows event viewer. This event is raised in every Windows 2012R2 server but no defects are known, everything seems to work fine. Except for our Exchange 2013 servers........
Our Exchange 2013 (CU7) failover cluster (which is used for DAG replication) gets corrupt. It goes offline and we are not able to get it online anymore. We are not able to fix this and have to rebuild our DAG + Replication network every time this happens.
For exchange we are already looking into an other backup method, but for all the other servers, we're not quite sure what to do... Is this really bad?? And do we have to renounce this backup method for all servers? Or can I just filter this error in SCOM and try to live with it... :-)
