Status code 6 message may be displayed when adding a trusted master server
As a part of adding a trusted master server, the remote master server version is also retrieved. If the source master server is unable to retrieve the remote master server version, the following error message is displayed:
Exit status 6: The backup failed to back up the requested files.
Workaround: The error message is inaccurate. Re-attempt to add the trusted master server. For more information, see the NetBackup Deduplication Guide.
