NetBackup status code: 200

Message: The scheduler found that no backups are due. Or, the target hosts do not need to be upgraded.

Explanation: When the NetBackup scheduler process (nbpem) checked the policy and the schedule configuration, it did not find any clients to back up.

This error may be due to the following:

  • No backup time windows are open (applies only to full and to incremental schedules).

  • Policies are set to inactive.

  • The clients were recently backed up and are not due for another backup (based on Frequency setting for the schedules).

  • Policies do not have any clients.

  • For SQL Server policies that use intelligent groups, the credentials may be invalid that are associated with any credential rules. Or, the SQL Server administrator does not have the necessary permissions to access the instances or databases. This issue applies to NetBackup 11.0 or later.

Recommended Action: Usually, this message can be considered informational and does not indicate a problem. However, if you suspect a problem, do the following:

  • Examine the NetBackup All Log Entries report for any messages in addition to the one that indicates the scheduler found nothing to do.

  • Examine the policy configuration for all policies or the specific policy in question to determine if any of the reasons in the Explanation section apply.

  • To obtain detailed troubleshooting information, increase the unified logging level for the diagnostic and debug logs.

    Use the vxlogcfg command as explained in the following procedure:

    See "About unified logging" in the NetBackup Logging Reference Guide.

    Retry the operation and check the resulting logs.

  • For SQL Server policies that use intelligent groups, ensure that the credentials are valid for the SQL Server instances or databases that are included in the policy.

    Refer to the NetBackup for Microsoft SQL Server Administrator's Guide for more details on this error.
