Thank you
Did you ever find a solution to this? I'm just curious because I'm experiencing the exact same error.
no i was not able to resolve this issue
Hi,
If there is any anti virus, disable it and try taking backup using
Procedure
Hi memaad,
While I cannot speak for the OP, that was the exact command I was using when I encountered the error. Disabled/enabled AV makes no difference in my case.
Hi,
Try taking offline back of Inventory service, stop inventory service and try taking backup.

Hi,
What version of vCenter server you are using ?

I'm on 5.1 and the offline back up worked. For whatever reason I thought the service had to be running, but turning it off to take the back up did the trick.
Thank you very much!
Hi,
You should be able to take the backup , I think this is known issue in vCenter server 5.1 and has been resolved in vCenter 5.1 Update 1.
vCenter Server 5.1 Update 1 Release Notes
Search with "inventroy",
This is what it says
Backup of the Inventory Service database fails
A backup operation of the Inventory Service database while the Inventory Service is running fails due to a bad_certificate error.
This issue is resolved in this release
