Recently I was tasked to look after the backups on some of our sites. The current architecture is NEtbackup 6.0 MP4. For storage we have a NetApps Filer and a AIC 500 Tape Library. Recently I found some failures on one of my Jobs. Here is the log of the file. Hopefully this is enough information for some troubleshooting.
