I have created a diff. backup and verify [multiple databases] schedule that creates a warning but appears to first fail giving VDI error 1010: Failed to get configuration from server and then proceed. There is a 30 second gap in the job log but then it seems to complete. Unfortunately this warning is emailed to the SQL DBA (me !! 8) at 12:02. I'm a little confused ! The end of the log says its valid but is it and how do I prevent the WARNING ?
Log output attached

    Most likely cause was that there was a process blocking the backup from being performed between 12:01:09 to 12:01:39. Could you please check if that is indeed the case?

    Thanks.
