The below response worked for me as a temp measure:

You also might temporary disable AAP for the isued VMs. The backup will not be transaction-consistent, but you'll still get successful restore point of the machines in crash-consistent state.

Please find the instruction below:

Right-click the issued job in the "Jobs" section;
Click "Edit…";
Go to the "Guest Processing" tab;
Press the "Applications…" button;
Mark the issued VM and press "Edit…";
Choose "Disable application processing" in the General tab.

Hi headond.

Thanks for the heads up. That sounds like a workaround but I suggest to keep working with our support team to tack down the root cause. Cheers!
