"Error Message: -1 - 1 [main] catalog 4620 exception::handle: Exception: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION"
Backups fail with the above error on jobs where cataloging is enabled. See below example of task log for this job.
"Catalog data for [Host Name] VM Name - Windows 2008 R2 AD File and Print/VM Name - Windows 2008 R2 AD File_1.vmdk volume 1 failed to save for the following reason(s): Catalog command failed: An internal error occurred during execution, please contact Quest support if the error persists. Error Message: -1 - 1 [main] catalog 2912 exception::handle: Exception: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION"
The third disk was a dynamic disk, which is not supported for cataloging. To see if the VM contains dynamic disks go to:
Server Manager/Storage/Disk management
In this situation, you have the following options:
1) Disable cataloging for this VM and backup without cataloging.
2) Convert the dynamic disk to a basic disk. (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc776315(v=ws.10).aspx)
