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...

@nbutech

can you please explain how can we check permission on script which u r telling above

nbutech · Answer

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

nbutech · Answer

So in your case the script is present in the path

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

&nbsp;

so you can go to the directory&nbsp;

/usr/openv/nebackup/ext/scripts/

and then run ls -l
