I have been battling an issue with backups for a couple weeks now. Backups run, some files get uploaded to the ftp server, then the backup fails. Backups had been running fine and suddenly stopped. I have not been able to identify a change that coincides with the failures.
Backups had been running to an sftp server. Yesterday I installed the 7.0.2 update to vCenter, dumped the original backup folder, and changed the backup method to ftp to simplify things. What appears to be the key line in the backup.log file is:
[Proc::UpdateExceptionStatus:Proc.py:383] ERROR: Full backup not allowed during VM snapshot.
Looking at VCDB.py it would appear that the script thinks that there is an active snapshot on vCenter. I have confirmed that there is not a snapshot.
Ideas?
