NetBackup status code: 233

Message: premature eof encountered

Explanation: This status code is an intermediate one that usually precedes another status code and is associated with a problem in network communication.

Recommended Action: During a restore, this status code means that tar (on the client) received a stream of data that was not what it expected. If the restore is a new configuration, verify that the tape drive is configured for variable mode.

See the NetBackup Device Configuration Guide.

If the communication failure is not due to an interrupt on a client system, save all error information and contact Veritas Technical Support.
