could you please confirm the nbu version?

NetBackup version is 8.1.2

Please go back a few pages in the manual (page 42 in 8.1.2 manual) to this section:
6 Use the Hyper-V tab to set Hyper-V options.
The following backup methods are available:
■ Hyper-V Host 2008 SP2 or later (VSS)
For Hyper-V hosts running Windows Server 2008 SP2 or later (including
Windows Server 2016). Select this method for older Hyper-V hosts. This
method does not support block-level incremental backups or Accelerator.
■ Hyper-V Host 2016 or later (WMI)
A new backup method in NetBackup 8.0 and later that enables the faster
Hyper-V backup features. This method is for Hyper-V hosts running Windows
Server 2016 Technical Preview 5 or later. The virtual machines must be at
a VM configuration version later than 5.
You need to select 'Hyper-V Host 2016 or later (WMI)' in order to have 'virtual disk selection' in Advanced tab.

You will not be able to use this options while on W2012.
The manual is clear:
