Description
The specified backup process failed. Backup processes can fail for a variety of reasons.
Repair procedure
To resolve the problem:
- Go to the Message Log Report screen (Reports > Message Log Report) and check for messages such as BKBADNFSMNT, BKBADDIR, and BKWRITEFAIL.
- Take action based any messages that you find and the related repair procedures.
- If no messages identify the problem, determine whether the ulimit on the backup NFS system is adequate.
- Check on whether an archive file was created.
- If an archive file was created, compare the size of that file to the ulimit.
- If the archive file is equal in size to the ulimit, increase the ulimit.
