Hi Dean,
By chance are all the VMs on the same datastore?
https://bp.veeam.com/vbr/3_Build_struct ... -snapshots
You might try testing the registry value here in small steps; by default there is a max of 4 snapshots allowed per datastore to prevent overloading the VMware environment during backups (imagine 100 machines with 100 simultaneous snapshots being created/merged).
Path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Veeam\Veeam Backup and Replication
Key: MaxSnapshotsPerDatastore
Type: REG_DWORD
Default Value: 4
Try a value of 6, you should see that more machines are processing. How high you can set it is environmentally dependent, but raise it in small increments to find the sweet spot for this environment.
