One of my replication jobs just started failing. Case 5161816. I receive the error:
Preparing replica VM Error: A general system error occurred: Failed to lock the file
Error: A general system error occurred: Failed to lock the file
I have restarted all proxy servers and the Veeam backup server. I confirmed a snapshot can be taken and delete properly on this VM. I have restarted the management agent on the host of the source VM.
Any ideas??

Re: Failing replication job
Is it a SQL server you are backing up? And if it is, does it house your vCenter DB? If so, just add the individual host that houses that VM into your list of servers and add the VM through that host. Don't go through the vCenter server to add that VM. Just setup some affinity rules, if you can, to keep that VM on that host.

Re: Failing replication job
I came across this post in my search for a fix too.
I opened a case with support (00567610) and they directed me to http://www.veeam.com/kb1775 which fixed the problem for me. I may be a coincidence but I was having this problem with replicating my Exchange server as well.
