If you cannot backup the VM using the waagent because the McAFee agent is interfering with the waagent extension. you could look into the possibility of creating a snapshot of the VM disks.
You can take a snapshot of an OS or data disk VHD for backup or to troubleshoot VM issues. A snapshot is a full, read-only copy of a VHD. you can find more info here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/windows/snapshot-copy-managed-disk
