NetBackup status code: 166

Message: backups are not allowed to span media

Explanation: An end of media (EOM) was encountered while the backup image was written. The backup was terminated because the NetBackup DISALLOW_BACKUPS_SPANNING_MEDIA option was present in bp.conf (on UNIX) or in the registry (on Windows). The backup is retried automatically with a different volume if the backup tries attribute allows it in the NetBackup global attribute configuration.

Recommended Action: None
