A task fails for a vSphere Virtual Machine that is being processed by Veeam Backup & Replication with the error:
Error: The operation is not allowed in the current state.
"The operation is not allowed in the current state."
is being reported to Veeam Backup & Replication by the vSphere Environment when Veeam Backup & Replication sends the request that a snapshot be created.
As this issue has to do with the inability to create a snapshot on the virtual machine within the vSphere Environment, the resolution will be to determine what is preventing a snapshot from being created. Once a snapshot can be manually created on the VM (remember to remove it). The Veeam Backup & Replication job will work without issue.
