    I have experienced the same problem with backup actually completing, but fails to update snapshot status on the master server. Have a look at this post : https://www.veritas.com/community/forums/netbackup-windows-code-156#comment-11132251 Either fix comms with master or change snapshot setting to disable and continue.

    Check the windows event log - I suspect there be messages from VSS saying the VSS snapshot has been deleted because the maximum shadow storage pool has been exhausted

    If that the case adjust the VSS pool size:
