Policy-based backups failing with extended error

I have a policy setup that was running correctly up until this weekend for a Full (Weekly) backup job. Below is the error reports from the activity logs. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

extended error status has been encountered, check logs(252)
  • I ran a diagnostic test on the tape library I am using for this backup and noticed the only error stating that the media removal has been prevented by Netbackup. Does anyone know where in the application I can change this so media removal is allowed?
  • It looks like there is difficulty talking to the library. Stop Netbackup or make sure that no jobs are running then run robtest and see if it shows the robot.
  • Have you already checked on syslog?
    I guess some errors are logged at this time, and it helps you to identify root cause.
