Cannot backup Exchange database files

I am trying to do specific backups of our Exchange 2010 databases and having issues. We have 2 Exchange servers running in a DAG and are built as VMware virtual servers, hosted on VMware ESXi v5.1.0....

    Since your Exchange servers are running in a DAG, you need to use the Exchange agent to backup your Exchange mailboxes.  Backing up the individual Exchange server VM will not do.  There is no GRT support for applications/databases which are spread over a couple of VM's, like Exchange in DAG.
