A backup which starts after the virtual machine has been reverted to some snapshot from the vSphere Client, fails with the following message:
Error caused by file /vmfs/volumes/55708983-391f41a1-eaa8-00224db1d33b/Rhel6.4-MD-SDS-cbtEnable-MixProvision/Rhel6.4-MD-SDS-cbtEnable-MixProvision.vmdk', faultCause = <unset>, faultMessage = (vmodl.LocalizableMessage) [], file = '/vmfs/volumes/55708983-391f41a1-eaa8-00224db1d33b/Rhel6.4-MD-SDS-cbtEnable-MixProvision/Rhel6.4-MD-SDS-cbtEnable-MixProvision.vmdk' }
The log files are created at /var/log/Phoenix.
