VMware backup failing in a Windows 2000 client

Hi everyone,

 

I have a backup policy vmware with all my machines. Among them I have a machine running Windows 2000 machine, this machine is giving error 156, error Snapshot. I tried to reinstall VMware Tools thinking that would solve the problem, but it lacks the feature of VSS.
 
Does anyone know how to solve this problem?
 
My NetBackup is on a 7.5.0.6 version and my vCenter is on 5.1 version.

I would like to get the full detailed status of this error.

Also what does the log for this VM in vcenter say? it should give an error about why it was not able to make a VM snap.

vCenter does not say anything. But other machines, on the same vCenter, on the same datastore, etc. Works fine.

check the log in this directory on the Backup Host for clues
