Re: Cant Backup VM, "guest OS Not Running"
You need to re-install VMware Tools on this VM as they are providing the wrong status to vCenter.

Re: Cant Backup VM, "guest OS Not Running"
even though i just posted this, it actually occured 3 days ago, i just checked my server today and the backups/increments have magically worked the last two nights, although at the end of the log that message still appears, they did however backup.
if it gives me any more problems i will try reinstalling vmware tools. cheers.
