Hi ,
If it is failing on random guest intermittently please try doing the following
1 Try taking a snapshot by using the vSphere client as (quiesce checked, snap memory unchecked) and check for logs. You can continue to test this way. No need to run backups.
2 You can also look in the Summary tab of the virtual machine in the vSphere client and it will tell you whether the VMware Tools are up-to-date or not. If VMware tools are not upto date please update them.
Moreover if it is random & if on most of occasion if it is working , then looking logs on vsphere for those random failure should help you with some information ,but looking at this I don't think could be an issue with backup exec
Thanks
