    Hi, Issue has been resolved, There was nothing wrong on Netbackups side, however I have upgraded to Netbackup 7.5.0.5 just as an additional step.

    Vcneter Credentials had all the required Priviledges, however the specific netbackup role that was created for us by the VM admins was not added to the very top hierarchy level in Vcenter which is the Vcenter node,

    Once this was changed backups completed perfectly fine,

    Regards,

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
