NetBackup status code: 2

Message: none of the requested files were backed up

Explanation: A backup or archive did not back up any of the files in the file list.

This status code applies primarily to automatic backups using Lotus Notes or SQL Server database agents, when all the backups that are job-related have failed. Or, an Enterprise Vault backup has failed. It should not occur for standard file system backups.

Open a NetBackup support case if you encounter this error for a UNIX, Linux, or Windows file system backup, or for database agents other than SQL Server or Lotus Notes.

Recommended Action: Do the following, as appropriate:

  • The following information applies only to Lotus Notes:

    This error occurs when archive style logging is not enabled for the Lotus Domino server on UNIX. It also occurs when another backup of the transaction logs is in progress.

  • See the troubleshooting topic of the appropriate guide for a description of troubleshooting tools:

    • NetBackup for Microsoft SQL Server Administrator's Guide

    • NetBackup for Lotus Notes Administrator's Guide

    • NetBackup for Enterprise Vault Agent Administrator's Guide
