Failed backup after 2 days of successful backup

Thread needs solution

we encounter this error when backing up VMware ESXi 6.5/vCenter with 3 cluster hosts and 8 vm machines? 

Based on the activities, we have two days successful scheduled backups and suddenly prompted with this error today.

Hi,

The error "Out of resources" is coming from vSphere which is unable to take quiesced snapshot of the affected VM. See https://cormachogan.com/2017/05/11/cloning-snapshots-vsan-policy-requirements-cannot-met/ where similar issue is described. In other words the troubleshooting should start from trying to take VM snapshot via vSphere client (quiesced=on, memory=off) and then checking the errors once it fails.

EDIT: see also https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/2146281

Thank you.
