After further investigation found the problem with labelnum taken from previous backup that is corrupted and causing the failure:

2020-03-27 10:30:41 avvcbimage Info <11986>: Changed block tracking is engaged for this VM
2020-03-27 10:30:41 avvcbimage Info <11987>: Reference backup is #713 captured on 2020-02-29 23:34:26
2020-03-27 10:30:41 avvcbimage Info <14680>: A reference to a valid prior backup is available so this will be an incremental.

Cause

A corrupted reference backup number is causing the backups to fail.

Resolution

Workaround:
  1. Disable CBT and take a full backup.
  2. Enable CBT again to validate that the incremental backup is also working fine.
