Hi! When i try to select VMs for backup job I get an empty list. I use Backup Exec 2012 (up-to-date) and my host is non-clustered (standalone, no AD) Hyper-V 2008 R2 SP1 (up-to-date) server. I tryed rebooting host and agent, reinstalled agent, BE account is in local admins and backup operators groups. Windows event log shows nothing special. Any ideas?

Thanks for tip but I do not see described symptoms (VSS errors), besides mentioned fixes are for 2008 not 2008 R2.
