More info please...
Is this a VMware backup where backup is taken via a backup host?
If VMware backup - tell us more about the backup host: OS, NBU version & patch, ESX/vCenter version, details of particular VM.
Is backup host the media server as well?
Do you have logging enabled on the backup host?
We will need bpbkar log as a start. Logging level of 3 should be fine.

Hi Marianne,
Yes this is a WMware backup taken via a backup host.
The backup host and the client VM is running on Wndows Server 2K8 R2.
We are currently using NetBackup 7.5.0.6 and ESX 5.5.

I would also look in the bpbrm log on the media server, as this seems to where the error is registered first
Could be a timeout as there over the default 5 minutes between the begin writing message and the errror message
By the way is ESX 5.5 the same as vmware 5.5 ? ask as the vsphere/vmware 5.5 is first supported from 7.6.0.2

can you tell me how can i increase the time out for the policy?
yes it is the same.

It is a client setting Client Read Timeout, in this case on the backup host/media server and maybe master server.
But as this is an unsupported setup, it might fail anyway

@ecnivinaj,
Are you using appliance to store backup data ?
β04-26-2015 11:41 PM
