VMWare Backups Failing - Login Failure?

netcomsecure
Level 3

Hi,

We have recently started having an error when backing up VM's via the vCenter server:

The job failed with the following error: A failure occurred while locking the virtual machine in place for backup/restore operations.
VDDK-WARN: VixDiskLibVim: Login Failure. Callback error 1800 at 2500.

I can't find much information on this callback error code, anyone have any insights? The account used has full top level vCenter permissions and previously worked. I have ran a debug and at the point of failure we see:
