If you backup a V.M., you still need to install the windows client on each VM in order to get the file updates so there are no savings on licenses. We have about 20 VMs now which are backed up using VCB (Virtual Consolidated Backup).

Can someone point me in the right direction of documentation regarding working with TSM and virtual machines as I'm not even sure what's possible. >From what I gather, there is a plugin that allows the direct backing up of the ESX side of things? Thanks in advance for any help/advice you can provide.

Why? One thing to do: start a backup, then use the Admin client to monitor the client activity (use the QUERY SESSION command). Watch the run state, bytes sent, and bytes received... how many sessions do you see, and what is the activity pattern? What do you see on the client side? Are there errors in the schedule or error logs? Also, what is the history of this problem on that client? Did it ever work correctly? If so, when did it stop working, and what changes were made around that timeframe?
