Veritas NetBackup™ for Hadoop Administrator's Guide

Backup operation fails with error 112

Error

Job activity monitor shows the Hadoop backup job as failed with error code 112. 

Cause

The trailing / is added in the policy backup selection.

To troubleshoot

Ensure that the Bigdata Policy with Hadoop application type does not have trailing / for multiple folders selected for backup. For example, backup selection should look like this

Application_Type=hadoop
Backup_Host=hostname.fqdn
/folder1
/folder2
/folder3
