"Failed to prepare guest for hot backup. Error: VSSControl: Failed to prepare guest for freeze, wait timeout 900 sec"
Any suggestions/resolutions? As this is urgent! Thanks!!

Set VSS timeout in registry. Increased from 200 to 800
Can you post authentic message from error log?
Maybe you need to reinstall vmware tools with volume manager and vss services running.
