VSA unable to Backup

vCenter 6.5

I am trying to use the backup process in VSA to FTP to my NAS device.

Keep getting error VMware-statsmonitor is not started

I ssh; to my VSA and issued this command service-control --start VMware-statsmonitor    then it went to StartPending

I need a backup because I made a terrible mistake the other day cleaning up my data store I accidentally delete the wrong folder.

It would not delete the folder because it has a lock on the files but it did delete some files from the folder.

If I shutdown the VSA I will loose it because the files will be deleted once the lock if freed

Can I build another VSA then delete the original one?

I can not even take a snapshot of the VSA  I get error Detected an invalid snapshot configuration.

Any ideas?

Thank you

Tom.
