NetBackup status code: 196

Message: client backup was not attempted because backup window closed

Explanation: A backup or an archive operation that the backup scheduler queued was not tried because the backup window was no longer open.

Recommended Action: Do the following, as appropriate:

  • If possible, change the schedule to extend the backup window for this combination of policy and schedule so it does not occur again.

  • If the backup must be run, use the Manual Backup command on the Policy menu in the Backup Policy Management window to perform the backup. Manual backups ignore the backup window.
