Event ID 8220 when performing VSS backup of Exchange 2010

When you perform a VSS compliant backup of Exchange 2010 you might get an 8220 information alert in the application similar to this:


Event ID:      8220
Task Category: None
Level:         Information
Keywords:      Classic
User:          N/A
Computer:      <FQDN>
Description:
Ran out of time while deleting files.

This is perfectly normal and presents no issues per Microsoft:

  1. I my case this makes the backup fail with this error: The consistency check for the component '...' has failed. The application 'Exchange' will not be available in the backup created at '‎...'. Review the event details for information about consistency check issues.
    I would not say this is normal
