When last did a full catalog backup succeed? 
Have you tried to schedule the catalog backup at another time that does not cross midnight?

There is no quick fix for this error. 
I found 3 references to catalog backup failing with status 42 but none of those seem relevant. 
(one was incremental backup failing and was fixed by running a full, another was about catalog backup done by a media server and the 3rd was for a Windows master with some OS limitation)

You will need to look into logs to find the reason for this error.

Level 3 logs may be sufficient, but if you log a Support call with Veritas, they will request level 5 logs.

Since the master server is also the media server, all of these log folders must be created on the master server:
bpdbm (restart NBU after creating the folder)
bptm
bpbrm
bpbkar

 

dear,

most network failures should be worked through capturing logs. catalog backup is local to the master server, hence logs should be from master.

Please share the logs which Marianne has asked. Thanks.
