vm may be too busy to quiesce to take the snaphot. BE2012
Hi Im running ESXi5.0.0 - last week I ran in a few updates to my hosts and it's now at patch number 914586 on my vm's , within the summary tabs , it said that vmwaretools were now out of date. I ran in the update to a few test/uat boxes and all seems fine. However, my backup solution (BE 2012) now fails to back up any of these vm's with the updated vmware tools , saying that the vm may be too busy to quiesce to take the snaphot. Other vms within my environment that are running now out of date vmware tools are able to be backed up fine. I can manually capture/create snapshots on the vm running the update version of vmware tools. I've uninstalled and reinstalled vmware tools and the BE client , but nothing I do can resolve the issue. and followed the KB arcticle that was linked to the error message : Is this a known issue on the vmware side or BE side? Help ! Regards FM.Solved485Views2likes1CommentBacking up VM from Vcenter

Hello people who are reading this. Here is whats going on. I have 3 servers running vmware ESXi5.1and vCenter controlling them.I havea brand newSymantec 3600 Appliance. All the VM's are stored on a SAN connected by iSCSI. Now the old way I've been backing up the VM's is by installing the Agent for windows on the VM's and backing them up like that. Everything works fine like that. Since I now have the 3600, I shouldhave the V-Ray edition of agents for VMware. (Understand that I know nothing about the V-Ray edition other than they backup virtural machines better)I have everything from AD toSQL to Exchange and Sharepoint running on VM's. (Server 2003-2008R2)Is the methodof backing up the VM's the same as before oris there a better way then installing an agent on every VM?? Example: I have 3 Host ESXi 5.1 servers and 1 vCenter and 10 VM's. What is the best way to backup all the VM's? Do I install an agent on every VM? I have the option ofadding a vCenter server to my list of servers to backup, when I edit the selections I can see all the VM's on all the hosts but when I expand a VM it just shows the vmdk. Is there a way to backup both the vmdk and individual files on the server in one job? (i.e. exchange mailboxes, documents, etc.) Or do I create one job to backup the vmdk and one to backup the server itself?? Hopefully someone can understand my madness lol Thanks for any help!Solved875Views1like3CommentsUnable to convert full backup to vm
