Hi thanks for reply.
I selected vm from list after reftesh and even use query or just type vm name but not help and backup failed.
I have 3 vcenter and about 10 esx servers added to netbackup if I selected vcenter contain specific vm in advanced setting backup will fail soon and if not backup will fail after search all vcenters and esx servers.
any other idea?!

Have you had a look at logs yet?
bpfis and VxMS logs on Backup Host as a start.

Just the bpfis as the snapshot is what is failing.
The error is very specific that we are unable to find the virtual machine.
So is there anything in your policy that would make us not find your VM?
For example do you have a VMware Server added in the Advanced settings in your policy?

Hi
If this is a one time backup requirement then please try to create a new policy and select the VM manually after refreshing the list as highligted in below image. Once this gets complete. Browse your VM and select it. Use "VM Display Name" as primary identifier. Update the vCenter Details in Advance Settings and save. Run the backup and if it again fails check the bpfis and VxMS logs on Backup Host as mentioned by marianne.

Hi,
please try to backup poweredOFF VMs with a policy with disabled snapshots. It wont work with snapshots. To disable quiesce option is not sufficient. I had this challenge some times ago and we solved it by using VIP. "Default" policy to backup VMs we added criteria for powerstate=poweredON. Copy to new policy, changed poweredON to poweredOFF and disabled snapshots. It worked.
Another point: Do really need a fresh backup of poweredoff VMs ?
