Hi,
Not sure what could be causing this one but I have Backup Exec 12.5 SP2 with latest hotfixes running on a Windows 2003 R2 Server. It remotely backs up a Windows 2008 SP2 Hyper-V server. The Hyper-V server has about 5 VMs running. When the backup runs, sporadically after about 2 or 3 weeks it says Snapshot Processing, meanwhile the Windows 2008 Server has completely hung/becomes unresponsive. The only way to get it working again is to power off the system and restart which is not very good.
There is nothing in the event viewer of each system to indicate a fault of any sort, the last entry logged on each system is -

being different for each VM. I also see a couple of Load Perf counters loading and thats it, nothing else until I power the whole windows 2008 server off and start the backup again, because the job wont cancel I also have to reboot the Windows 2003 R2 server. The server running Windows 2008 is a Dell Poweredge 2950 III. All drivers/firmware are up to date on all systems.
Anyone else had this? I think I may have to move back to VMWare :(
Many thanks

The Backupserver is a poweredge 1950 and the Hyper-V host is a Dell R900. One of my colleagues was testing V-locity on the server that day. We are hoping that was part of the problem and removed it. Are you running any similar software on the host?
