I upgraded our production environment to 6.5.2 today. While testing functionality I found that NDMP backups stopped working. The finished with status code 114 which is undefined. An error message in the job log file stated "path UNKNOWN".
I backed off the update and NDMP backups started working again.
I have opened a case with Symantec--nothing from them yet.
I would encourage others to add to this thread as other issues with 6.5.2 are found.

You mean like these?
Netbackup 6.5.2 and Sharepoint 3.0
Taking a Poll on 6.5.2 Patch Upgrade issues
to name a few!

I upgraded our NetBackup from 6.5.1 to 6.5.2 and now we can't restore from any image pre-upgrade. Symantec wanted to blame our tape library vendor (Spectra Logic). Spectra Logic says they are blameless and I have to agree with them. We were working just fine before the upgrade and now we can't restore from those old images. Symantec has escalated our case to Level 3 but I'm not sure how much help that will be. I'll update the thread as things progress.
We have Ultrium LTO4 drives and we are using Blue Scale encryption at the library level, not in the NBU policies.

Hi,
we have successfully upgraded to 6.5.2 and our NDMP backup's are perfectly working, even i was to able to restore old data also. i mean from backup taken in 5.1 mp6, as we migrated directly from 5.1 mp6 to 6.5.2
i too heard of the problem you are stating, in case you face any problem in NDMP drives, check whether the drives point out to the right path. you can manully change it in the administration console.
regards,
Srikanth.

Can you tell me what NAS appliance you are using?
The issue we were having did not result from the Netbackup not being able to find a drive path tapes were loaded and ready to go. The issue occurred when data started streaming from the NAS. I think Netbackup could not handle the metadata being passed to it from the dump utility running on the NAS appliance.
