Thank you for your response. PLease see my answers below.
What OS version for Hyper-V [Win 2012, Win 2012R2, Win 2016]?
A: Win 2012R2
Can you attach teh job log?
A: attached
Are Integration services updated on all the VM's?
A: Yes. Integration Services are updated.
Are all the agents updates?
A: Yes. agents are updated.
Does this happen for specific VM's or all Vm's?
A: All VMs.
If for specifc VM's then can you share the difference on how these VM's are configured in terms of Disks and other aspects?
A: I have added hyper-v hosts and taking agent less backups for all machines including all disks no exceptions.
Are you using the Faster processing method for Incremental Hyper-V backups Or the original method being called the Standardprocessing method ?
Previously I was using Faster method and switching it to Standard didn't effect anything except it stopped creating more snapshots that is a big headache with Faster method as it was unable to remove snapshot and running every two hour backup job was creating like hundreds pe rmonth.
Note: I hav tested Veeam backup solution (Backup and replication) and it took backup of 400 GB SQL only in 70 GB and incrementals was few MBs only. I tested other mahcines and they was also very small size and very fast and loow size incrementals.

Based on those 3 job logs have you used Windows Explorer to look at the size of data contained in
IMG000709 (The full)
IMG000745 (Incremental)
IMG000749 (Incremental)
Juts in case the job logs are really reporting processed and not actual copied data counts
See attched file for the size of one of them 243 GB. Worst thign is it read less data but file it creates is like a Monster. I mean how can you plan your backup using or having such big Full, Incrementals and diffrentials. I will either there is somethign seriously wrong with my enviorment although they workign fine with other tools like ShadowProtect and Veeam or this tool Veritas is junk at all.
I have used it in past with Tape drive and it was good but I don't if they have made enough progreess for virtual enviorments.
FaizanAssuming you have a support agreement I think you should log a formal support case - we do have a lot of customer using incremnetals without issue and as such we may need a more in depth look at what is affecting you.
If i have that option i should never post it here. Issue is Veritas don't provide tech support on trial version nor with out license. I don't want to buy something which is not workign and vendor is not ready to provide support and community forum is even not helping but routing to support huh !
Will you buy a TV not working in store and being asked by sale person to buy it and it will work when you get home after paying it ? or you prefer a TV working fine in store from diffrent brand ?
