  • There can be many reasons why an error 62 and status 13 and status 4207 might be generated.  No-one here will have an immediate answer for you.

    Have you searched and researched and tried anything at all yourself yet ?

    I googled, and found this :

      Have tried the suggested article solution, to adjust the CLIENT_READ_TIMEOUT but it does not resolved the issue

  • I think this is the real error:

    Info bpfis (pid=5060) done. status: 4207: Could not fetch snapshot metadata or state files 
    file read failed (13)

    Have you checked bpfis log on the client?

    I have experienced this issue when the client could not connect to the master server at the end of the backup to update snapshot info.
    Windows client needs connectivity to the Master server when WOFB (snapshot backup) is needed.
    If connectivity is not possible, then WOFB in Master Server's Client Attributes for this client name must be disabled.

      Hi Marianne

      I have look through the bpfis logs as attached. Still unable to identify what is the issue with the snapshot

        I was hoping to see more in bpfis log.
        There is no more than what we see in Job Details:
        bpfis: INF - EXIT STATUS 4207: Could not fetch snapshot metadata or state files

        Connection to the master server seems to be fine:
        11:35:10.939 [4368.3468] <2> vnet_pbxConnect: pbxConnectEx Succeeded
        11:35:10.939 [4368.3468] <2> logconnections: BPRD CONNECT FROM 192.168.10.140.50216 TO 192.168.10.8.1556 fd = 764

        I guess logging level is at the default of 0?
        Can you you try to increase it to 3?

        Please also check the client for VSS errors.
