One or more virtual machines in a VMware Backup job fails with the following error:
Virtual Machine <VMname> is unavailable and will be skipped from processing.
This error occurs when a virtual machine's Managed Object Reference ID (MORef-ID) changes within the virtual infrastructure or the virtual machine is deleted. The virtual machine (VM) is still added to the Backup Job, and when the job starts, the job queries the vSphere infrastructure, attempting to find a VM with the MORef-ID that was recorded for that VM when it was first added to the job.
Note: The most common events that cause a VM MORef-ID to change are:
