I have added a new "Virtual machine server" to my backup, I have chosen the clients, but when I run backup on them all of them is giving me this errors, I did put them also in the host file of my master server.

This may well be a permissions issue ... make sure the account you are using has full rights as required for VMware backups: http://www.veritas.com/docs/000007351

It could also be a connection issue .. usually port 443 to the vcenter server (if that is what you added)

What transport mode are you trying to use? If you are trying use SAN, then the VMware backup host (media server) must see all the disks that the virtual machine is running on. Also have a look at snapshot limitations (this is for vSphere 5):

https://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-50/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.vmware.vsphere.vm_admin.doc_50%2FGUID-53F65726-A23B-4CF0-A7D5-48E584B88613.html

I am not using SAN

Are you using raw disks? Snapshots are not supported for those. What size are the disks for the virtual machine and are they on VMFS3 or VMFS5 (that was upgraded from VMFS3)?

 

Feel free to share every bit of detail rather than just answering yes/no to questions.

Please refer below link and verify the accessibility of Datastore with VMWare host and configure the transport mode accordingly.

I would check the ESX hosts can be reached from the master and media servers on port 902.

The standard questions: Have you checked: 1) What has changed. 2) The manual 3) If there are any tech notes or VOX posts regarding the issue
