I am backing up to an external drive and no encryption, I think I found out it was happening because host and vm both were running backups at same time I have rescheduled it for different times it seems worked.
Normally you do not need to backup the host so frequently as the vms.

Hmm that's good idea I think I would run host backup weekly.

Thanks Noxcho it helped my situation I have turned off host backup every night and will do the backup manually as windows backup schedule is not so flexible.
You are welcome Yasir!
Is the drive encrypted somehow?
