    Hi,

    Do this checks once from the client side:

    1.  Run bpclntcmd -pn (To check if it is able to resolve master server)
    2.  Check netbackup connectivity to the media server it is using at the time of backup.
    3.  Check you have the MEDIA_SERVER and SERVER entry for the media server which is used at the time of backup

    From master server check these:

    1.  bpgetconfig -M <client name> SERVER (should complete successfully)
    2.  bptestbpcd -client <client name> -verbose (To check netbackup connectivity with client)

    From the media server check these:

    1.  Check if you are able to connect through netbackup

    Set VEROBSE = 5 in bp.conf file of the client, run the  test backup again for the problamatic client and get me the bpcd and vnetd logs for the test backups you ran.
