Catalog Backup to Disk: Status Code 160: Authentication failed.....

Are you using a mapped drive or a UNC path?

Best to use UNC as the specified user may not have the drive mapped

log in as the account you have specified, unc to the path and ensure that you can write (create a file) on the target path

.....the format I'm using in the Disaster Recovery tab is:

\\ip-address\directory\subdirectory

I've also tried setting the Login option to both:

username    password                and

\\server-ip-address\username     password

Both work when mapping the UNC path manually via Windows Explorer's Run \\ip-address\directory\subdirectory option as the username/passwod designated in the Disaster Recovery tab. 

I was also able to copy/paste a simple text file to the designated location.

It seems the Activity Monitor shows successful progress for the child jobs (Backup and Duplication), however the Parent job is what comes back with Status Code 160.

The following should work fine:

Path:
\\ip-address\directory\subdirectory

Logon:
domain\user-name

Password:
********
 

You error is probably telling you that all the available drives for this STU are in use, probably you need to kill some jobs or raise the STU Concurrent drives.

"Limit as been reached for the logical resource LCM_xxxxxx_xxxxx_stu02"

...correct, so it has to be something else.

.....and this is Backup-to-disk so there really aren't any drives.  However, I've increased the "Maximum Concurrent Jobs" for the storage units, but I'm inclined to think that may not be the problem either.

I should note that this issue occurs for our Catalog Backup process, which we have configured to Backup to a local DataDomain device, and Duplicate to an offsite DataDomain device.

Thanks,

Sven

Have you tried 'domain\username'   'password'  instead of  ' \\server-ip-address\username     password '?
