Please see if this forum post matches what you see:

https://vox.veritas.com/t5/NetBackup/Vmware-backups-with-multiple-disks-fail-with-status-12/m-p/8315...

If not, please share details of your environment and ensure that you have bpbrm log folder on the media server and bpbkar on the backup host.
Logging level 3 should be fine.

Questions you should answer:

1> Job details from activity monitor?

2> Netbackup version on Master/Media and OS version and platform?

3> What job is failing? Snapshot or Backup? Incase you are using "VMware" policy type.

4> For backup jobs failure, please share VXMS logs.
