Backing up an Edge server with Yosemite you might get the error “Unkown Error“. This being because it will think that it’s an Exchange server and it will fail to find the mailbox.

On Edge server and right click on the Yosemite application link and Open File Location. Under folder config edit the ytdetect file using Wordpad.

Enter a semicolon (;) in front of the code as below.

;ods.6=Microsoft Exchange Server Agent,exw

[wns.v6.x86_64.primary]
;ods.1=Microsoft Exchange Server Mailbox Agent,exm

Restart services of Yosemite. Swish, there it’s fixed.

At the current state, Yosemite does not have the capabilities to backup EFI System Partitions and when backing up the system, the backup process will always fail. So are a workaround to skip such partitions is to edit the ytconfig.ini in the Yosemite folder and add the following object:

[disableVamObjects]
Boot Configuration

When you install Yosemite Backup solution on a server having multiple network cards, the agents will not work and the server will not be visible by the master server. This is because Yosemite binds itself to a network card. Now, to fix this, simply edit the ytconfig.ini in the Yosemite folder and add the following line under the configuration tab and set it to your the IP address of the network card:

bindTo=10.1.1.1
