Offline catalog backups failing with status code 141

[SUMAKSHI]

Hello Friends,

My offline catalog backup is failing with status code 141 but at the sametime online catalog backup is getting sucessfull. I verified an absolute path, but everything seems to be fine..

Kindly suggest...

4/7/2008 1:52:42 PM - begin Catalog Backup

4/7/2008 1:53:06 PM - Error bpbackupdb(pid=9416) Offline catalog backup to path \\Mxchihjrz-nb03\Mxchihjrz-nb02-Catalog\Catalog FAILED     

Thanks in Advance!

Are UNC paths allowed? (Is this a UNC path or just how the error is reported ?)

Thought format was:

Computer: /PATH  (for UNIX servers)

or

Computer: Drive: \PATH (for Wintel servers)

Yup, UNC paths are allowed and this is error message what i have posted here.

Could someone please let me know how do i troubleshoot this issue?
