Hi,
I'm using VDP to backup a Vcenter Linux Appliance amongst other VM, on a Vsphere 5.5 infrastructure.
Everything was just fine until the day the email notification indicated that de backup of my vmware appliance failed on every single backup (all the other vms are ok).
When I look further I realise that the backup is actually ok. I extracted the logs of failed clients from VDP web interface.
In the log there is only 1 warning.
Here is my log (warning in red...).
