datastore path is not found

Thread needs solution

Hello,

I am having some troubles backing up our Exchange 2010 Server.

I am using vmProtect 7.

When I first add the task and run the backup, it works with no errors at all but every subsequent backup fails. Here is the log:

-----------------------
Task 'HO-EX01 Backup' failed: 'Failed to create a backup.
Additional info:

-----------------------

If I delete the task and re-create it, the backup will work but only once.

Any ideas why this is happening?

Thanks,
Mike

What version of esxi? I had a similar problem and it was resolved by updating vmware to the latest version.

My issues were with iscsi storage but same type of error.
