Error description

  • When using Tivoli Storage Manager for Mail: Data Protection
    for Microsoft Exchange Server, failed FULL database backups are:
    - listed in query command output
    - selectable for restore operations via the MFC GUI
    
    
    Customer/L2 Diagnostics:
    This issue can occur under rare circumstances. The problem
    was reported in the following scenario:
    
    Full backup failed during send of .edb file to TSM
    server. The backup operation failed with correct error code.
    
    Investigation of tdpexc.log backup provided additional details:
