VCenter 7.03C backups failing automated SMB

This week I updated our VCenter from 7.02D to 7.03C.  The upgrade appears to have been successful.  However after the upgrade I did notice my automated backups of VCenter are failing.  The backups was working for months without any issue prior to the update.  I am using SMB as the protocol to backup to a DFS share that I gave replicated between multiple servers so I have multiple copies.  I didn't get the opportunity yet to export the support logs but will do that next week.  The thing I find odd is if I run a manual backup selecting the option to use the settings of the scheduled backup it is successful at making a backup.  Has anyone else seen issues like this with SMB scheduled backup after upgrading to 7.03C?

I appear to have corrected the problem.   I ended up setting up the automated backup again from scratch and so far for the last two days it has been working.   This appears to be a non issue.
