Hi All,
I was running a backup to an OST device (while a restore of earlier backup on the same device is already in progress ).
And the backup fails witht the below error:
Info bpbkar32(pid=4536) done. status: 156: snapshot error encountered
However the policy used for the backup is not configured for any snapshot backups.
Can anyone let me what could have went wrong here?
Using Netbackup 7.5
Thanks much,
VS
To start this investigation, we need to see the bpfis log, at VERBOSE=5 (and GENERAL=2 if Windows), from the client.

What type of backup is it and what is the client OS and NBU version?
Backup Type: Full backup (Normal)
Client: Windows 2008 R2
NBU: 7.5
Thanks,
VS
