Media server backups are failing with error 42 error.

We are backing up all the media servers in one policy with two selection C: and shadow copy.

Suddently Only C: backup of all the media servers started failing with error code 42. Shadow copy backups are successful.

media server and master server communication is fine as we can also see shadow copy is successful.

Anyone has any idea why it is failing only for C: that to after writing certain amount of data.

What is the common denominator? Are all the media servers backed up to the master server or are they backing up themselves?

Are the jobs failing after a certain amount of elapsed time or after a certain amount of data being backed up?

If all of them are being backed up to the same media server (e.g. the master) start by looking at bptm and bpbrm logs on that media server.

Error code 42 is about communication between your master-media-client.

 

Try to check netbackup connectio with bpcd command.
