Communication error between BE and Windows remote agent

I have had this same issue for approximately 8 months. I have to virtual servers that the backup fails with the error: Final error: 0xe00084f9 - A communications failure has occurred between the Backup Exec job engine and the Agent for Windows.
Final error category: Resource Errors

I was advised on one occassion that there was a patch in BE 2014 to resolve this issue. We upgraded to BE 2014 from BE 2012 and the problem seemed to have been resolved for a couple of weeks. It is now back and seems to be worse than before.

Is anyone else experiencing this issue??

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Are you on SP2? If not, do download and install it. See below https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/forums/backup-exec-2014-sp2-release-notes-and-technical-information

Yes, I am on service pack 2. Operating system is server 2008 R2 enterprise. I have one host server with 4 virtual servers. Not sure what other information might be helpful.

Sounds like a BE service is creashing or hanging. Do you have a formal support case logged for this issue ? If yes, would recommend to work with support as the issue is not resolved.
