Hi Pat3ck,

It would sound like you have multiple instances of the VCB Proxy Client configured with different savesets.

Please try to check the EMC solution below:

Cause

There are multiple instances of client resources for the Proxy host defined on the Networker server. For example in the above the Proxy host 'NWkrProxy.local' has multiple client resources defined on the networker server. During backup Networker obtains the parameters required to initailize VADP backups, from the 'Application Information:' attribute of the Proxy hosts client resource (under 'Apps & Modules' tab of the proxys client resource). The following parameters are commonly defined in this attribute:

VADP_MAX_BACKOFF_TIME=10
VADP_TRANSPORT_MODE=san
VADP_HOST=NWkrProxy.local
VADP_BACKUPROOT=c:\mnt
VADP_MAX_RETRIES=0

When mutliple client resources are defined for the proxy host, the every instance of the Proxy hosts client resource should have the 'Application Information' attribute populated as above.

Resolution

If there are multiple instances of client resource for the Proxy host on the Networker server, ensure that each instance has the 'Application Information' attribute populated with the required VADP parameters for VADP backups to be successful. This applies to VCB backups as well. However the parameters for VCB backups have different names.

Also confirm VCB Proxy backup type under Apps & Module of VM client is selected as VCB and the proxy backup name is entered with correct DNS name for proxy host

-----------------------

I hope this would help!
