NetBackup status code: 76

Message: client timed out reading file

Explanation: A FIFO was specified in the file list and no data was produced on the FIFO within the allotted time.

Recommended Action: Make sure that the process that is to produce the data on the named FIFO is started correctly. Add an entry to the /usr/openv/netbackup/bp.conf file on the server to set CLIENT_READ_TIMEOUT to a larger value than the default.
