no problem, our VPN is working from vCenter back to my home-machine :-)
compressed log attached, contains all logs from a new start of the VM
until freeze of filesystem / online-backup failed
i think these two lines are the relevant
ioctl failed because ressource busy
Dec 07 23:05:17.551: vcpu-0| Guest: [ debug] [vmsvc:vmsvc] SyncDriver: ioctl
failed: 16 (Das Gerät oder die
Ressource ist belegt)
Dec 07 23:05:17.553: vcpu-0| Guest: [ warning] [vmsvc:vmbackup] Error freezing
filesystems.

wouldn't it be a good idea to switch this from ioctl to fsfreeze or
look inside the guest-tools if fsfreeze is supported and use it in
such cases, RHEL5 is missing it, RHEL6 supports it and fedora as
many other distributions do also because they switched to recent
kernels long ago

This option requests the specified a filesystem to be frozen from
new modifications. When this is
selected, all ongoing transactions in the filesystem are allowed
to complete, new write system
calls are halted, other calls which modify the filesystem are
halted, and all dirty data, meta‐
data, and log information are written to disk. Any process
attempting to write to the frozen
filesystem will block waiting for the filesystem to be unfrozen.
Note that even after freezing, the on-disk filesystem can
contain information on files that are
still in the process of unlinking. These files will not be
unlinked until the filesystem is
unfrozen or a clean mount of the snapshot is complete.
