NetBackup status code: 99
Message: NDMP backup failure
Explanation: The paths in your NDMP policy file list did not back up successfully. One of the following occurred:
None of the backup paths exist on the NDMP host.
An NDMP backup uses a wildcard character that points to a file, not a file path.
Recommended Action: Do the following:
Check the NetBackup All Log Entries report for more information.
Try the following commands from another master server or media server:
# tpautoconf -verify ndmp_filer # tpautoconf -probe ndmp_host
On the filer, verify that the NDMP service is running. The verification process depends on the filer.
For NetApp, run ndmpd status to verify that the NDMP daemon is running. If not, execute ndmpd on and re-run ndmpd status to verify.
Change the NDMP wildcard to specify path names only. You cannot use a wildcard character that also matches a file name. For example, an NDMP backup selection is
/vol/vol_archive_01/autoit*. This specification matches path name/vol/vol_archive_01/autoit_01/, bit it also matches file name/vol/vol_archive_01/autoit-v1-setup.exe.
