That is good to know Stefan, it makes sense to so thank you! I used the schedule again and it returns the same ANS9377E. And Del, I am editing the correct .opt file, i made a typo and restarted the dm cad but that gave an error, fixed the typo and it worked again so I know it's working and the correct stuff is in the correct .opt file. I created the .opt files and tag-related stuff for the .opt file with the VE gui and it matches the documentation. A manual VM backup doesn't start either with nothing in the logs.
The vCenter appliance is 6u2 so supported. It's very strange and log entries are so limited that I don't know where to look.
