NBU environment:
Master/Media: Windows 2008, NBU 7.6.0.1
Client: Windows 2003, NBU client 6.5
I am seeing the following errors in the backup job detail consistently on the weekly full backup of a Windows Server 2003 client:
4/5/2014 7:50:23 AM - Warning bpbrm(pid=13540) from client bkusolwfl007: WRN - Removable Storage Management: unable to export database (WIN32 21: The device is not ready. )
4/6/2014 11:34:30 PM - Warning bpbrm(pid=13540) from client bkusolwfl007: WRN - can't open object: Shadow Copy Components:\System State\Internet Information Services\IISMETABASE (BEDS 0xE000FED1: A failure occurred querying the Writer status.
The nightly incrementals complete with a status 0. I know it is running an old version of the NBU client, but upgrading it may be problematic. How can I check the writer status?
Thanks!

Client: Windows 2003, NBU client 6.5?
I suggest upgrading the NetBackup CLIENT.
Ensure VSS is being used on backups on the client
Ensure the VSS rollup is installed on the client.

To check the vss writer status run the below OS commands
vssadmin list writers
