I'm running NetBackup Enterprise 6.5.1. I'm trying to backup a RedHat 5 client. On one of the volumes of that server has some VMware virtual machine backups. These aren't running VMs..they're just a copy of some .vmdk and .vmx files.
When I try to back them up, I get:
Error bpbrm (pid=23175) from client dedupnfs: ERR - Cannot lstat myvm.vmx. Errno = 22: Invalid argument
I found Document ID: 276790 (seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/276790.htm) which talks about Errno22 when backing up .dsk files. I'm not sure it relates, since this is only .vmx and .vmdk files. Also, we're not looking for any NetBackup/VMware integration -- it should just treat these are regular files. That's why I'm not sure I understand the reference to a redo log. But just to be safe, we did move to using explicit paths (instead of ALL DRIVES) -- no change.
Any other ideas?
Thanks
