NetBackup status code: 197

Message: the specified schedule does not exist in the specified policy

Explanation: A user backup or archive request specified the exact policy and schedule to use when a backup is performed. The policy exists but does not contain the schedule.

  • On Microsoft Windows clients, you can specify a policy or schedule on the Backups tab in the NetBackup Client Properties dialog box. To display this dialog box, start the Backup, Archive, and Restore interface on the client and select NetBackup Client Properties on the File menu.

  • On UNIX clients, you can specify a policy or schedule by using the bp.conf options, BPBACKUP_POLICY or BPBACKUP_SCHED.

Recommended Action: Do the following, as appropriate:

  • Check the client progress log (if available) to determine the policy and schedule that were specified.

  • Check the configuration on the master server to determine if the schedule is valid for the policy. If the schedule is not valid, either add the schedule to the policy configuration or specify a valid schedule on the client.
