Netbackup VMWARE backups failing with snapshot error 156

Edit your VM policy to search clients on Snapshot Options --> Client Name Selection -- VM Display Name, Then Browse your ESX Host for the client what you want to do the backup.

Add using this method and try again. Pls check if you don't have a Snapshot created on the VM client.

Let me know If this help you. Good Luck

Hi, I have tried that allready, no luck, same error.

Othe option what I use when Receive this king of error is:

1. Within the NetBackup Administration Console, expand Host Properties in the hand pane

2. Within Host Properties, click Master Server and then the double-click the name of the Master Server in the right pane

3. Click on the Client Attributes section

4. If the client in question is listed here, click on the client name. If it is not listed, add and click on the client name.

5. Click the Windows Open File Backup tab

6. Ensure that Enable Windows Open File Backups for this client is not selected if open file backups are not required

Try this, if not please upload the Details Job

Questions:

The error 156 appear faster?

Do you see the Snapshot created on the VM Console when You send the backup job?

Let me know Thanks

Logs:

Please upload the Details Job and the BPFIS log

Thanks

Windows Open File Backups is not selected, Below is the details status from the activity monitor, I have increased the vmcloglevel in the registry of the backup host to 6 so the bpfis is quite large. Please find the bpfis log file attached.

Nothing gets created on the VM Console yet, the backup fails before it evens reaches that point.
