NetBackup status code: 68

Message: client timed out waiting for the file list

Explanation: The client did not receive the list of files to back up within the allotted time. This list comes from the server.

Recommended Action: Do the following, as appropriate:

  • Verify that the server did not crash.

  • Set up debug logging.

    • On the server, create a bpbrm debug log directory.

    • On UNIX, Linux, and Windows clients, create a bpbkar debug log directory.

    • 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.

  • Retry the operation and check the resulting debug logs.
