We suspect there is an issue with your VMware VDDK installation. Please try the following process and let us know if we can be of further assistance.

The best process for installing VDDK we have found is as follows:

1) Download and install VDDK 5.1.4 using all of the default settings. VDDK 5.1.4 will install to C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\Virtual Disk Development Kit.

https://my.vmware.com/web/vmware/details?downloadGroup=VSP510-VDDK-514&productId=285

2) Download and unzip VDDK 5.1.4 to C:\Temp\VMware-vix-disklib-5.5.4-2454786.x86_64, then copy C:\Temp\VMware-vix-disklib-5.5.4-2454786.x86_64 to C:\Program Files.

https://my.vmware.com/web/vmware/details?downloadGroup=VDDK554&productId=353

3) Once you have vBackup installed set the "VMware Virtual Disk Manager Application Directory" setting to: "C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware-vix-disklib-5.5.4-2454786.x86_64\bin", uncheck "Use same application directory for VMware Disk Mount" and set the "VMware Disk Mount Application Directory" setting to: "C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\VMware Virtual Disk Development Kit\bin".
