SQL Server 2005; Windows 2008 Server; NetBackup 7.1.0.4 Backup using SQL Studio works fine.   OS backup using NetBackup also works.    Backup using NetBackup MS-SQL agent fails immediately with...

    I think this is a Microsoft issue.  It sounds exactly like this Windows 2003 issue:

    GENERAL ERROR: Attempts to back up 32-bit SQL on a 64-bit Windows server fail with a CoCreateInstance error message in the dbclient log file.
     http://symantec.com/docs/TECH48096

    I poked around the Microsoft KB and couldn't find an equivalent for Windows 2008, though....this was as close as I got, but it's for Windows 2003 and SQL 2000:

    FIX: Event ID 20 "Volume Shadow Copy Service error" is logged when you back up the System State on a Windows Server 2003 x64 Edition-based computer that is running SQL Server 2000
     http://support.microsoft.com/kb/904418

    Both docs mention some sort of 32-bit vs. 64-bit conflict, however, so maybe that can push you in the right direction.  Maybe you/someone else here will have better luck?
