@adiharini it seems that @Kristalia has not posted anything in the last 2 years and has not replied to a request for an update to the post that you have found.

Best to share detailed information about your environment - 
Current NBU version
VMware version
Backup host details
bpbkar log on backup host for PID 190056.

Hi Marianne

Thanks for your response . Here is the information

Current NBU version  - NBU 7.7.3
VMware version  -  vSphere 6.0 update 3
Backup host details  -  vmx-08           rhel6_64Guest              BDC1RBMOVICAP09
bpbkar log on backup host for PID 190056

I dont have access to the client network to check bpbkar logs , however we have opened a case with Veritas and they pulled all the logs needed and they are doing analysis , with veritas recomendations we have initiated backup again but its been 4 hours not showing any progress .

Hi,

Would be possible you attached VxMS and BPFIS logs? Another think, are you using NBU appliance 5230 as VMware backup Host? If yes, whats NBU version? Also 7.7.3 (2.7.3)?
