Hi ,,

 

We have hitachi storage, for that we can use this same command.

to what wr has mentioned, check the Hitachi system logs as well for any errors (for local NDMP backups). For remote NDMP backups (backups to a media manager storage unit) the bptm log and the messages file from the media server will be helpful.
