@Cesar_Almada  the post where you tagged onto was solved by fixing permissions.

Since your issue seems to be intermittent, it is best to start a new discussion where you share details of your environment, such as NBU version, vSphere version, details of backup host, VMware policy config, if issue is seen with one VM or mutiple, etc.. etc...

See in the meantime if this TN helps:

Message: Unable to lock the backup or restore host for virtual machine snapshot operations

Explanation: NetBackup was configured to serialize virtual machine snapshot operations on the backup or restore host. However, NetBackup was unable to acquire the lock that controls snapshot serialization within the allowed time.

Recommended Action: Restart the backup job when no other virtual machine snapshot operations are in process. If NetBackup cannot acquire the lock frequently, adjust the NetBackup job configuration as necessary to: allow virtual machine snapshots to run at different times or run on different hosts. Alternatively, reconfigure NetBackup so that snapshot serialization is not required.
