NetBackup status code: 148

Message: daemon fork failed

Explanation: A NetBackup service did not create a child process due to an error that was received from the system. This error is probably an intermittent error that is based on the availability of resources on the system.

Recommended Action: Do the following, as appropriate:

  • Restart the service at a later time and investigate the system problems that limit the number of processes.

  • On Windows systems, check the Event Viewer Application and System logs.
