I have created two backup job for backing up Hyper-V 2012 virtual machines.

I would suggest that you open a formal support case with Symantec so that they can take a look at this problem.

I wrote the post in the link above and finally ended up solving my problem. If you setup your media server with all of the default paths for log/data/catalog storage set to the C: drive, then my solution won't help. When it didn't work, I was using non-standard paths for some of the Backup Exec data storage. My solution was to greatly expand my C: drive partition and then uninstall/reinstall BE 2014 with all the paths set to default. After I did this, incrementals started working on my Server 2012 system.
