Hi,

Media gets freezed if while backup operation some Media error is occured.
SO you will have to check the problem log for the error "Failed to Write to Media" "Media Write Error or something of this kind.
or even you can check whether any job is failed with
Status Code:84 (Media write error)

Hope this helps!!!Message was edited by:

netbackup\bin\admincmd>

bpmedialist -mlist

this will list all media in the pool and show you if frozen\suspended\expired

bpmedialist -summary | grep -i "FROZEN" | more
