Hyper-V VM backup not very reliable

Backup246525344
Level 3

I've noticed that its a roll of the dice as to which one of or when the backup will fail on a VM.  We have 9 VM's on Hyper-V.  Pretty much each night at least one fails (random) because the VSS service in windows dies.  This seems like its more of a problem with the windows service than Backup Exec.  Has anyone else had this same problem?  The funny thing is i've probably backed up all 9 VM's over the course of 3 nightly attempts because a different one fails each night.

same problem here!

my remote agent on the hyper-v virtual machine (server 2008) fails each night.

 

the agent stops - no backup possible.
