Thank you everyone for your helpful contributions!
Finally resolved the problem after revisiting this KB article again.
VMWare backup error: Error opening the snapshot disks using given transport mode: Status 23

Rechecked my HOSTS file to verify the entries of hostnames and ip addresses of each ESX hosts carefully and spotted an ip address of a ESX server was matched to the hostname of another ESX server.

After amending the HOSTS file with correct matching ip address & hostname of ESX host, i could successfully backup my VMware VMs again.
