Backup fails because backup proxy cannot take snapshots

Sometimes, a backup fails because backup proxy cannot take a snapshot of virtual machines that are configured for backup. You might see an error like this in your log file: 
An error occurred while saving the snapshot: Change tracking target file already exists
The log files are created at /var/log/Phoenix
Resolution
  1. Consolidate the snapshots. For more information, see this article in the VMware Knowledge Base.  
  2. Wait for the next scheduled backup, and check the backup status after the backup completes.
