Greetings,
Environment:
Master Server: Windows 2K8 R2 - Netbackup 7.6.1.1
Media Server: Windows 2K8 R2 - Netbackup 7.6.1.1
Client: AIX 7.1 - Netbackup 7.6.1.2
Problem: We have been running DB2 backups (using Templates) for a few weeks now. We started noticing that the instances were failing to back up. When we asked our DB2 admin to recreate the templates after troubleshooting, he experienced the following error when trying to log in to the Java Console: file write failed (14). We asked him to run the application as an Admin and he still got the same problem. I tried to increase the logging levels on the client through client properties and got the same error when clicking Apply or Ok after setting the levels higher. Any ideas or advice?
If need be, here is the Detailed Status of the Parent job, a child job is never started because it fails.

Not necessarily a "resolution", but uninstalling and reinstalling Netbackup on the client seems to have resolved the issue. So far 2 of the instances i've tested are now writing.
