    Any time I try to mount a drive that contains a Time Machine backup on it within my macOS VM I am getting the following error
    I've attached.

    I've turned Time Machine to manual on the host system. I've tried force quiting the backupd process. Nothing seems to allow me to access the drive containing the time machine backup with my macOS VM. So I cannot restore the needed time machine backup.

    Any ideas?
