create snapshot xsibackupdiff (11) failed

You can't backup a VM if you can't take a snapshot.
Fix the VM and then try to back it up. Check that VMWare Tools are installed and running, consolidate the VM, check that you have enough space in the datastore and also in the virtual disk. Namely, fix whatever is wrong and try again.

That error has nothing to do with XSIBackup, it's a generic VM error.
