Please read the following tech alert. It describes
your situation exactly I believe. You should make sure
to sign up at the Veritas website to recieve all tech
alerts from Veritas for just these kinds of warnings.

When utilizing VSS or VSP to backup Windows Clients
with VERITAS NetBackup (tm) 5.0 MP1, 5.0 MP2, 5.0 MP3,
or 5.1, a potential for data loss exists. The backup
will complete with a Status code 0 (successful);
however, there are no files to restore. The backup
will include random root or top level
folders/directories with no sub folders or files.
