Please keep VM powered on with current VMware tools in running state if these details are expected. ...
By design, the 'totalvmdiskutil' and 'occupiedvmdiskutil' values are not available if the VM is powered off or VMware tools are not running during the backup.
The 'totalvmdiskutil' and 'occupiedvmdiskutil' values are retrieved from VMs during the backup. The following should be evaluated if the values are not being retrieved from a powered up VM during the backup: Was the VM powered on during the time of the backup?The VMware Tools status should be running.The VMware Tools status should reflect up to date.
