NetBackup status code: 224

Message: there was a conflicting specification

Explanation: A request to the bpdbm process (on UNIX and Linux) or the NetBackup Database Manager service (on Windows) had invalid information or some information that conflicted. This error is usually a result of the use of software from different versions. Another cause can be incorrect parameters on a command.

Recommended Action: Verify that all NetBackup software is at the same version level. If that is not the problem, obtain detailed troubleshooting information by creating bpdbm and admin debug log directories. Then retry the operation. Check the resulting debug logs.
