Duplicate Disks. Backup Fails!

Back up failing. I noticed this weird message in the logs

"2019-03-04T14:39:17|  scsi0:4.fileName = "/vmfs/volumes/adf216ff-b089449d/fs-51/fs-51_4.vmdk". The backup thinks there are duplicate disks, but that is not the case.

Any thoughts?

Re: Duplicate Disks. Backup Fails!

Disk names, not only their full paths must be unique, just rename one of the "duplicate" disks.
