Hi VDDK Experts,
Appreciate your input on this issue
VADP backup of some specific servers by using 3rd-party backup software (Asigra DS-Client), we get a following error.
Error reading file disk2001.vmdk You have requested access to an area of the virtual disk that is out of bounds (VixDiskLib_Read returned error code: 16007)

Cause:
The issue is on the VMWare side and it is caused by an incorrect partition allocation on the backup target
virtual machine, the partition size on that disk might be larger than the disk size.
Workaround/Hot Fix:
Recover the incorrect partition allocation by creating a new partition in a new disk then copy the data from
the faulty partition to the new partition.
