1. Remove the provisioned disk from Vshpere client. OR
2. Allocate the Disk in the Guest VM under Disk Management.
3. Delete the Snapshot (If present) under Snapshot Manager.
had 4, deleted all
4. Browse to Datastore and check for any old Snapshot files under Guest VM folder.

5. If Snapshot files present, Take new Snapshot through Snapshot Manager.
Should I Take new one?

6. Open the Snapshot Manager and check whether old snapshot listed.
only one in a list
7. Delete all the snapshots including the old one.

after full backup I got the same error!

Got this same issue on random servers. I don't know what else to do...

Would you please confirm if there is an application error (event id 1000) on either the Backup Exec media server or the remote servers ?

Hi VJware,
I just checked the event viewer of my media server and I found an event id 1000 but is not the same as http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH153800, still, just in case, I checked the option "Enable TCP dynamic port range" and let's see what happens during this weekend, got to backup 5 Tb only in fileservers, that's sad because I can't run those backup during productive hours to do some tests, I have to wait till next monday to see the status.
By the way, I also checked on my vsphere server, but I didn't found any event 1000.
The issue occurs both on Windows and Linux VM's, and it' s random, as I mentioned before I don't know what else to do about this, it seems that the backup fails at the end. My most recent failed backup is from yesterday. It started to run at 6:30 PM and fails after 8 hours, after backing up 832 Gb.

Would you pls post a complete description of the event 1000

Hi VJware,
Here's an extract from another job.
Backup started on 21/01/2013 at 06:52:56 p.m..
I did a vssadmin list writers command on that server and all of them are stable with no errors.
On the media server, I got the following event id from that time/date, I don't know if it's related to it.
Still, this is a random behavior, I don't know when it's going to work or when it's going to fail.

The event 1000 would be on the media server... could be possible beremote.exe is either stopping/crashing during VMware backups... if so there is a workaround...however need to confirm if there is such an event logged or not.

In fact, I take a look into that directory and I have some dmp files.
Is that the event ID 1000 you were asking about?

Just in case... Another event 1000, but this was generated while I was retaining some backup sets
Are any of them related to your event id 1000 ????
