VM Appliance: Failed backups "The operation is not allowed in the current state of the host"
Hi,
We have two ESXi hosts (VMware ESXi, 7.0.3) managed by a vCenter Server 8.0 and, with the occasional blip, backups (Agent for VMware 15.0.30984) have been faultless.
However, came in this morning and all backups from one ESXi host had failed with this message.
MESSAGE
The operation is not allowed in the current state of the host.

Additionally, I'm unable to run a backup on demand on these VMs. The button is missing.
I've deleted and reinstalled the Agents. Made no difference.
Cheers
Neil
