NetBackup status code: 8

Message: unable to determine the status of rbak

Explanation: On DomainOS clients, rbak is used to do restores. If rbak does not exit with a status message, NetBackup cannot determine if the restore works.

Recommended Action: Check for a new core file to see if rbak quit abnormally. Check the ps output to see if rbak is hung. If so, cancel it and try again. Check the progress log for any unusual messages from rbak.
