NetBackup status code: 66

Message: client backup failed to receive the CONTINUE BACKUP message

Explanation: The client bpbkar process did not receive the message from the server that indicates that the server is ready to continue.

Recommended Action: Do the following, as appropriate:

  • Verify that the server did not crash.

  • On UNIX, Linux, and Windows clients, enable bpbkar debug logging.

    • Create a bpbkar debug log directory.

    • On a UNIX or Linux client, add the VERBOSE option to the bp.conf file. On a Windows client, set Verbose on the TroubleShooting tab in the NetBackup Client Properties dialog box. To display this dialog box, start the Backup, Archive, and Restore interface on the client. Then select NetBackup Client Properties from the File menu.

  • On other PC clients, create a debug log directory for bpcd.

    Increase the amount of information that appears in the logs.

    See "Changing the logging level on Windows clients" in the NetBackup Logging Reference Guide.

  • Use the vxlogcfg command as described in the following topic:

    See "About unified logging" in the NetBackup Logging Reference Guide.

  • Retry the operation and check the resulting debug logs.
