So, for 200+ VMs all is working fine, but for 1 it is not?
If we take into consideration that when the backup starts, Netbackup calls vCenter to create a snapshot, and then after backup completes, Netbackup again calls vCenter to remove snapshot, it makes sense that troubleshooting should be done at VMware level, right?
A quick Google search found VMware forum posts and 2 NetBackup TNs that point to issues with vCenter 5.0 and 5.1.
