    Hello Fawad,

     

    Please help us to understand in more details..what is the job type .. mostly looks like the database job which failed...

    is this scheduled backup or manual ..? 

     

    If it is Oracle do you see something similar to this technote

     

    Oracle backup fails with EXIT STATUS 6: the backup failed to back up the requested files and File not found messages in the bphdb

    Mostly it can be permission error whihc you might have to check to get this fixed.. but there could be other reasons of failure as well...

    You can run ls -l from the directory where the script is present and see the permissions

    So in your case the script is present in the path

    /usr/openv/nebackup/ext/scripts/ORACLEBACK_SCRIPT_NAME.sh

     

    so you can go to the directory 

    /usr/openv/nebackup/ext/scripts/

    and then run ls -l
