Recent install of VRanger Pro 5.0.0 on W2K3 R2 SP2 Standard VM. Connects to MSSql 2005 SP4 on 2008 R2 SP1 VM for SQL backend. VSphere is ESXi 4.1 Update 1 with locally attached disks and Vcenter is the 4.1 Update 1 as well on a seperate VM. The backups occasionally go through successfully but mostly getting this error. Have already upgraded VDDK to 1.2.1 per Support's request and tried backing up to local repository instead of remote. Also tried 5.1 beta and that did not fix the issue. Also the disk clone portion of the backup gets to 100% before resetting to 0%. The temp file created for the drive in the backup does not get converted to the permanent file plus the other 2 files on the failures. Any ideas?
