NDMP backup failed

post the policy information, it appears you are using invalid arguments in your backup selection string

Please post the output of:

bppllist policyname -U

where policyname is the name of your NDMP policy

_VOLUME_ looks very wrong - would normally expect /vol0/ or similar

This error is coming from the NAS, not NBU:

(NDMP_ILLEGAL_ARGS_ERR)

Please verify that the backup selection is valid:
  /__VOLUME__/noncriticaldata/

What make/model is your NAS filer?
NBU version?

Hi Yasuhisa,

I have tried that but still backup failing wwith same status and details.

Can u provide what exactly needs to be add in backup path and how.

eg. backup path is folder1.

Please confirm actual path on the NDMP filer. Work with your filer admins.
That is what you need to put in Backup Selection. You need to add the FULL path. Relative path such as folder1 will not work.

Also share the following info:
Make/model of your filer?
NBU version?

Thanks Marianne for giving this link,

this will make easy for me to solve issue.
