Here is an update.
We got back a test machine which had been freezing. If no backups where setup, then defrag would not freeze the machine.
Once we added backups, and ran them, the machine would freeze at the next defrag - Consistently. Even after the backups finished.
It seems that rebooting before the defrag prevented the freeze. Stopping Veeam did not prevent the freeze.
I have a ticket with Veeam 07264297
Experimenting more, it seems like this does not happen if the REFS is version 3.10. I am not sure about 3.9, but all the machines I am having trouble with have REFS 3.7. Could be an REFS bug with Veeam backups tripped on and setting up defrag to trigger the freeze? and maybe the bug was fixed in 3.10? I am running some more tests to see.
