    After calling Symantec Tech Support & jumping through lots of Change Management hoops I modified the "Default Domain Controllers Policy" GPO -

    Computer Configuration -> Policies -> Windows Settings -> Security Settings -> Local Policies/User Rights Assignment

    I added my BE Account to:

    • Act as a part of Operating System ( Only for Windows Server 2000 ).
    • Create a token object.
    • Log on as a service.
    • Logon as a batch job.
    • Manage auditing and security log.
    • Backup files and directories.
    • Restore files and directories.

    Doing all this locally on the problem servers did nothing, but applying the GPO worked.

Ensure that your logon credentials are correctly entered and that they meet the following minimum requirements to log on to a Windows computer:
 
   - The credentials used are a member of the Backup Operators group.
   - For Windows Vista/2008 and later, the credentials have the Log on as a batch job privilege.
 
Additional privileges may be required to access resources on the Windows computer.
