the backup failed to back up the requested files (6)

Note: we are using Veritas NetBackup 6.5 for UNIX

If this is the only file causing the issue try adding LOCKED_FILE_ACTION = SKIP to bp.conf on the client showing this issue

LOCKED_FILE_ACTION bp.conf entry for UNIX clients

Which database are you backing up?

We need output files of backup script as well as NBU logs.

SAP backup perhaps?

Thanks a lot for your helpful and quick response. Problem is fixed.

The problem was with BACKINT interface and the script files for the backup.
