I have a similar issue

Hyper-V Backup Utility 9/9 VMs Successful

I believe that this bug it is still present in latest version. I will update to latest and check again.

I can confirm I'm still seeing this on the latest build. Two examples follow... One fails for lack of space, the other due to auth issues. (both were "correct" to fail, there were auth issues and space issues)

@furicle Thank you for bringing this to my attention!

[furicle]

No worries, I feel guilty I haven't had the time to troubleshoot it more!

[Digressive]

@furicle thats totally ok! troubleshooting takes so much time

[Digressive]

I believe this is fixed now in Version 24.05.11.
