    We need to know which backup job (bpbrm PID) we're looking at in bpbrm.

    There seem to be different NDMP backups that ran on this day. Some level 0, some level 2 and also level 7.
    e.g.
    08:53:29.039 [6860.9932] <2> logparams: -backup -S cansbkp03 -c cansfile01.sa.agcocorp.com -ct 19 -ru root -cl CAN_NAS_MAN -sched Semanal_NAS -bt 1477392807 -dt 0 -st 0 -b cansfile01.sa.agcocorp.com_1477392807 -mediasvr cansbkp05 -jobid 930985 -jobgrpid 930984 -masterversion 760000 -maxfrag 1048576 -bpstart_time 1477393108 -reqid -1477392692 -mt 3 -to 0 -stunit cansbkp05-hcart2-robot-tld-5-cansfile01.sa.agcocorp.com -rl 3 -rp 2678400 -eari 0 -cj 1 -D 14 -rt 8 -rn 5 -pool Semanal_NAS -use_ofb -use_otm -jm -secure 1 -kl 1 -rg other -fso -stream_count 1 -stream_number 1 -dmplevel 0 -connect_options 16974338

    Herewith couple of TNs that may help:

    PS:
    Please upload files in .txt format rather than .log (e.g. bpbrm.txt).
    .txt files can be viewed online, even on a mobile device.
    Not the case with .log.... 
    THANKS!

    Have you had a chance yet to look at the TNs that I've posted yesterday?

    You will see that /etc/dumpdates on the filer determines which dumplevel to use.

    If the Full was still running, it means that /etc/dumpdates on the filer was not yet updated with details of successful Full backup.
