Unix Netbackup v7.1.0.4 running on RHEL 6.2. Two Windows 2008 R2 Standard Media Servers v7.1.0.4. Backup target is DataDomain dd670
I seem to be plagued with the oddest of problems. This one is a VMWare backup policy that starts at the beginning of it's backup window and immediately dies with a status 196 then ~12 minutes later starts again and runs the entire VMWare backup status 0 around 264 VMs. After backing up for a prolonged time without any such error it started happening within the last six weeks and occurs frequently. Most recently with this mornings (3-8-2013) backup just after midnight.
Below is the status 196 and below that is the status 0
