Exchange VSS backups failing after cancelling a previous backup

TDP for exchange version:6.1.2.1
BA client version:6.2.1.0
TSM server version:6.1.4.2
Exchange OS Plateform Version:2008 R2

To resolve the problem, run a VSS backup on the storage group on which the backup was stopped. If the successive VSS backup fail with a backup-in-progress error, stop and restart the following services from the Services snap-in. This will clear the backup-in-progress state for the storage groups that are affected by this failure: Microsoft® Exchange Information Store service.
