hi,
based on description, seems wmi writer in state: [5] waiting completion. please read event logs vss, there error or not? if correct, please try steps narrow down cause?
1. open elevated cmd, run "net stop vss && net start vss", press enter. if there prompt vss service not started, try "net start vss && net stop vss" press enter. run “vssadmin list writers" again, same issue occur?
2. try backup vm using windows server backup, there error message? if so, please let know detailed error message?
3. restart server , check if there difference.
4. if same problem occurs, please collect mps report , analysis causes of problem.
