NetBackup status code: 3

Message: valid archive image produced, but no files deleted due to non-fatal problems

Explanation: The backup portion of the archive command reported problems so the files were not deleted.

Recommended Action: Examine the progress log or status of the archive on the client to determine if you need to retry the archive after you correct the problem. If the problem is not serious and the files were backed up, you can manually delete the files. To verify the files that were backed up, use the NetBackup client-user interface in restore mode and browse the files in the archive.

A possible cause for files not being deleted is that you do not have the necessary permissions. NetBackup cannot delete files unless you are the user that owns the files, a superuser on UNIX, or an administrator on Windows.
