We currently run a WS2012 Standard Host with a WS2k3 VM as well as a WS2k13 VM. We recently upgraded the host and added the 2012 VM. The Windows Server Backup is backing up the host components, drives and the WS2k3 VM perfectly, but is failing on the WS2k13 VM. I am trying to figure out why. I have attached the fail log as well as the successful log. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Successful:
Backup of volume C: succeeded.
Backup of volume D: succeeded.
Backup of volume G: succeeded.
