NetBackup status code: 35

Message: cannot make required directory

Explanation: Could not create a required directory.

Possible causes are the following:

  • A process does not have permission to create the directory

  • The path to the directory is not valid

  • An IO error occurs

  • No space is available on the device that contains the directory

For Hyper-V, Hyper-V servers or SCVMM servers with IPv6 addresses are not supported. For VMware, using IPv6 addresses to refer to NetBackup clients are not supported.

Recommended Action: Do the following, as appropriate:

  • Check the NetBackup All Log Entries report to determine which directory was not created and why it was not created. In particular, check for a full disk partition.

  • Check the permissions on the parent directory. Verify that NetBackup services are started with a Logon as account that has permission to create the directory.

  • For detailed troubleshooting information, create a debug log directory for the process that returned this status code. Then retry the operation and check the resulting debug log.
