No solution can be given without knowing more.
What are you using as VM backup host? What is OS and NBU version on backup host? Is backup host the media server as well?

What is VMware/vSphere version?

Are backups of other VMs in same policy successful?

What does your policy config look like?
Post output of
bppllist (policy-name) -L

Master server is the backup host . OS - AIX version 7.7.3

VC version : 5.5

only one VM machine backup is there.

for output of policy, pls see attached.

You cannot use AIX as Vmware backup host. Only Windows, SUSE Linux and RHEL are supported backup host. See NBU SCL for detailed list of supported backup hosts.

Thanks All. We have taken FS backup now.

Certainly not ideal solution.

Do you know that VM Backup Host can be a regular client?
