Resolution

This is often generated when there is a problem with the backup destination. It is recommended that you recreate the backup destination (such as iSCSI target or Data container) and restart the backup job.

If this does not resolve the issue, check that all Windows Updates have been applied to the server.

Backing up to an alternate location can also result in a successful backup. If this is successful, it confirms that the original destination was the cause of this error.
