Hi,
 
    This sounds like a communication issue, have u tryied to run a normal OS or file backup? just to be sure that your master/media is able to see the client and perform good backups?
 
 
Please let us know.

These are important lines:
ORA-19511: Error received from media manager layer, error text:
   VxBSACreateObject: Failed with error:
   Server Status:  Communication with the server has not been iniatated or the server status has not been retrieved from the serve
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The "media manager layer"  is the oracle rman media manager and has nothing to do with netbackup. 
Here it is reporting a ORA-19511 error.    All ORA-19511 errors are those that have returned by the third party backup software, in this case NBU.    
The next two lines are netbackup errors.  The third party software errors are displayed as they were issued i.e oracle rman does not attempt translate or add to the errors.  Start  diagnostocs as you would for any  comms failures also rman is pedantic when it comes to hostname:IP resolution.
