Hi Robin,

The main error here is coming from VMware during creation of quiesced snapshot: "An error occurred while quiescing the virtual machine. See the virtual machine's event log for details." This error can be also seen in vSphere client in tasks panel and it can be investigated by following the following KB article (there are several VMware articles linked which are related to this error):

http://kb.acronis.com/content/4559

The snapshot used for backup is created with the following options: quiesced=on, memory=off . In order to confirm you can try to create the snapshot of this VM from vSphere client with the same options (see the screen shot in the attachment illustrating it) and it will fail with the same error.

Thank you.

I would suggest upgrading your VMware tools instead of reinstalling. It worked fine for me.
