Backup Exev 2010 R3 GRT Failed to mount disk
Hi there,
We are trying to backup our VMs with GRT. When I use our ESX host as target the backup job completes without error but if I use our VCenter as target the job complete but failed to mount the virtual disk.
Our environment:
Media Server:
- BE 2010 R3
- OS - Win 2008 R2
ESX Host:
- ESX 4.1 Update 2
VCenter Server:
- VCenter Server 4.1 Update 2
- OS- Win 2008 R2
Debug log from BE Media Server:

Any ideas how to solve this?

You have asked this same question question yesterday and there was only one reply. If your problem is urgent, I would suggest that you open a formal support case with Symantec.
This issue is caused by having the special character & in the password for the account used to backup the virtual machines or in the name of the virtual machine directory or name.
http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH129185
After spending couple of hours troubleshooting on our problem we were able to solved it. It turns out that we put our ESX Host under a folder with a "&" character in it. That's the reason why BE can't mount the virtual disk.
Thanks everyone for the help.
