when im doing backup of virtual machines using backup exec its present the follow errors:
 
Operation on file "d:\folder" failed (The process cannot access the file because another process has locked a portion of the file).
Choose Retry to attempt the operation again. Choose abort to terminate this session.
Choose Continue to forward error to the guest operating system.

Unable to view the virtual machine's screen. Error connecting to bin\vmware-vmx.exe process.
 
Anyone had this problem?
 
I tried do the backup using "normal backup" and "copy backup".
 
Im using Backup Exec 10 and VMWare Server.
 
I need reset the virtual machines for fix the problem.
 
Tks.

I am receiving the same error on one of my client's machines

Running Windows 2003 SBS
VMWare 1.03 build 44356
Backup Exec 11d  rev 6235

operation on file "u:\.....\...\...-flat.vmdk" failed (The process cannot access the file because another process has locked a portion of the file).  Choose Retry to attempt the operation again.  Choose Abort to terminate the session

I had to remove the VM from the backup and backup at the file level rather than the entire VM.


Until I acknowledge the message the virtual machine stops responding.

EFS, I resolved it.
 
Install software Advanced Open File into Virtual Machines and enable select option Advanced Open File in your job backup. Doing this your problem it will be solved.
