Master/Media is NBU 6.5.3 Windows 2003 R2 SP2. Windows 2008 has 6.5.3
installed. Any help would be appreciated.
I just spent a few hours on this yesterday fixing this so you asked at the right time.
By default, NetBackup still wants to use the evil VSP. However, on Windows 2008, you can't even install VSP (which is a good thing). You need to tell your master that for this client, use VSS.
# bpclient -client <clientname> -add -WOFB_enabled 0 -WOFB_FIM 1
From a Windows master, you probably have the bpclient utility installed, or you can go into your admin console, go to Host Properites, Master Server, select your master, select Client Attributes, add the client, go to the Windows Open File Backup tab for this new client, check the box to enable open file backups, and then select the radio button for VSS. The radio button text says it's for Windows 2003 and Vista only, but it also applies to Windows 2008. No wonder I like the command line instead of the GUI :-)
This isn't well documented but it does become a bit more obvious if you enable bpfis logging on the client as part of your troubleshooting. A clear technote on how to configure a Windows 2008 client might be in order from Symantec...
