Backup fails with EC - 2 on SQL 2005 server.

[haripriya]

The backup on one of the SQL2005 servers (veritas - 6.5) is failing with error code 2.
Have seen the below logs from the C:\Program Files\VERITAS\NetBackup\logs\user_ops\MsSql\Logs of the client.

ERR - Error in GetConfiguration: 0x80770003.
    CONTINUATION: - The api was waiting and the timeout interval had elapsed.

The other mssql backups are running fine. This is the only stream failing with the above error. Please help me fixing the issue.

Have a look at the backup script.
This is why this backup is failing:
BACKUP LOG cannot be performed because there is no current database backup

Create dbclient log directory on client for further troubleshooting.

Got it.. this backup is to backup the database backup logs..there is no database backups that has run and hence no logs... Thank you for the solution.
