Are you backing up CIFS shares from the NetWorker server? I've not tried the latest and greatest SMB3 stuff yet, but I assume there's a reason for backing up via shares instead of a NetWorker client installed. Perhaps the use of SMB3 for hosting Hyper-V volumes.
Anyway, try using save.exe -o "VSS:*=OFF" as your save command for this save set. I used this when backing up a CIFS share on a NAS device. In the environment I inherited this was necessary to correctly back up the ACLs, as a supplement to the NDMP backup.
are you use incremental backup ? I have a similar issue and with this option i done only full backup successfull, incremental backup is completed as fail :-(
i backup file share on remote NAS storage as for example \\192.168.1.10\Data
save command : save -L -v -o "vss:*=off"
error: 94693:save: The backup of save set '\\192.168.1.10\Data' failed.
full backup OK, incremental fail

Try to use also -c parameter to force client index usage. If that fails, add -D9 which will give you debug output and perhaps some more data that may help to address your issue (note, D9 produces loads of output so your better redirect that somewhere - some messages inside might be misleading too )

Hello cmorrall!
Your reply made my day, save.exe -o "VSS:*=OFF" fixed the problem and the SMB backups are running fine!
Thank you very much!
Best regards,
Anthon Hassel

Hello Pavel!
No I don't have any problem with incremental backups, since I added save.exe -o "VSS:*=OFF" everything have been running really good.
Do you get any error message and what backup command do you use?

Ok!
Have you tried the command I use? Same error message?
