NetBackup status code: 169

Message: Media ID is either expired or will exceed maximum mounts

Explanation: A backup or a catalog backup was tried and the volume selected for use has reached its maximum number of mounts. The maximum number is specified in the Media and Device Management volume configuration. For a regular backup, the volume is automatically set to the SUSPENDED state and not used for further backups. For a NetBackup catalog backup, the operation terminates abnormally.

Recommended Action: If the volume was suspended, wait until it expires and then replace it. For NetBackup catalog backups, replace the media.
