 +===== Problem Description =====
 +
 +When performing a VMware guest VM backup in VDDK mode on VMware vCenter / ESXi version 5.0.x, 5.1.x, or 5.5.x, the following error message is received in the backup report: ​
 +
 +^ No. ^  Type ^ Timestamp ^ Log ^
 +| * | info | ...| ... |
 +| * | erro | YYYY/MM/DD hh:mm:ss | Fail to connect VM disk by VDDK library " error: "VDDK Mode Error Virtual Machine = "​VM/​Hard disk" Reason = "Fail to connect VM disk by VDDK library"​. Error=Unknown | 
 +| * | ... | ... | ... | 
 +
 +===== Cause ===== 
 +
 +This issue occurs because the VMware VDDK 7 API used in CloudBacko Pro v4.1 or above, are not supported by VMware vCenter / ESXi version 5.0.x, v5.1.x, and v5.5.x for backup in VDDK mode.
 +
 +===== Resolution ===== 
 +
 +To workaround this issue, replace the current VDDK 7 API with the VDDK 6 API files, [[https://​download.ahsay.com/​support/​vddk6.zip|Click Here]] to download the VDDK v6 API files. Refer to the following steps to replace the files:
 +
 +  * Stop the CloudBacko Pro service.
 +
 +  * Stop the CloudBacko Pro NFS service.
 +
 +  * In Windows Explorer, make a copy of the current folder %CBP_Install_home%\bin\x64.
 +
 +  * Open the folder %CBP_Install_home\bin\x64.
 +
 +  * Delete the following .dll files (13 files in total):
