NetBackup status code: 294

Message: vault catalog backup failed

Explanation: During a Vault job, the catalog backup step failed.

Recommended Action: Review the Vault debug log in the following directory for detailed information about why the process failed:

UNIX and Linux: /usr/openv/netbackup/logs/vault

Windows: install_path\NetBackup\logs\vault

To find the actual problem that caused the catalog backup (bpbackupdb) to fail, review the summary.log in each of the sidxxx directories that had problems:

UNIX and Linux: /usr/openv/netbackup/vault/sessions/vault_name/sidxxx

Windows: install_path\NetBackup\vault\sessions\vault_name\sidxxx

(where xxx is the session ID)

Correct the problem and rerun the Vault job.
