The log says you have issues with config file (did you try to read it btw?)

BR0278I Command output of '/usr/sap/PRD/SYS/exe/run/backint -u PRD -f backup -i /oracle/PRD/saparch/.aexokktm.lst -t file -p /oracle/PRD/121_64/dbs/initPRD.utl -c':

    That message could be kind of a generic message at times. If you use the -p parameter with the .sap file instead that should be gone.. But we need to verify connectivity from the master to the client and vice-versa to start with.

    If the client is not able to connect back to the master server you could see such a failure reported. Did you recently upgrade the master/client after which this issue has started?
