Snapshot could not be created with VMware method

Hi Guys,

 

I'm setting up backups for my VM Environment.

ESX 4.0

NBU 7.0

After I complete editing the policy I get the following error window:

 

 

 

  • Check the following:

    1. That the vm backup host is a Windows server

    2. That the vm in question is not a template

    3. That the vm in question has all of its VMDK's on the SAN luns and not on local disk

    4. That the vm has vmware tools installed and up to date

    Also run the bpplinfo command with -L switch rather than the -U and show us the output

    Thanks
